Place Magazine Issues

Planning is changing quickly, and planners are being asked to think differently about how communities grow, adapt and prepare for what comes next. From artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to EV infrastructure, mobility and new approaches to city-building, this issue explores the trends reshaping the profession and the role planners can play in leading that change.

This issue of Place magazine looks at how planners are staying ahead of emerging challenges, embracing new tools and ideas, and helping shape the communities of the future.

What makes a community truly healthy and liveable today?

The first issue of Place Magazine explores how planners are helping shape communities where people can live, move, connect, work, and thrive. From housing, parks, schools, transportation, services, employment, agriculture, safety, and technology, Registered Professional Planners play a critical role in guiding decisions that support sustainable communities.

This launch issue looks at how liveability is evolving in response to affordability, demographic change, climate challenges, economic pressures, new technologies, and shifting policy landscapes while highlighting the diverse perspectives needed to build better places for everyone.
