This afternoon, I'll tell the story of how American Planning Association advocacy, together with the other members of the #GlobalPlannersNetwork, led to a #RevitalizedUrbanPlanning that drove UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme)'s #NewUrbanAgenda.

It was good to be with so many colleagues in Denver last week thinking of how to advance good planning to promote quality-of-life, resilience, and justice at home and abroad.
