At Planners' Day on Capitol Hill, APA will directly connect you with lawmakers from your desk. This immersive advocacy experience is entirely online.
New Jersey Sustainability Summit
The New Jersey Sustainability Summit is a momentous event in our state, drawing change-makers from across the political, private, and public sectors. This exceptional one-day forum spotlights the successes and lessons learned from the people and projects that are helping New Jersey realize a more sustainable future. 2024 Summit attendees walked away with tangible resources and strategies to assist with their own community initiatives.
Cohousing – Creating High Functioning Neighborhoods
Participants will learn about cohousing’s human-scaled, pedestrian-oriented design, its adaptability across urban, suburban, and rural settings, and its benefits in addressing housing affordability, sustainability, and social isolation. The session will also highlight how cohousing differs from conventional zoning, often requiring creative regulatory navigation and community-driven governance structures.
