"The need for planners to shape a community vision has never been greater. The American Planning Association brings together thousands of people — practicing planners, citizens, elected officials — committed to making great communities happen."

"APA is a nonprofit public interest and research organization committed to urban, suburban, regional, and rural planning. APA and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, advance the art and science of planning to meet the needs of people and society."

This group has been created for current and alumni planning students of the Maxine Goodman-Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University to share their thoughts, ideas and work as is related to the planning field.
