InterPlan
InterPlan is a flagship publication of the American Planning Association International Division. It provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge on urban planning and development, regardless of national boundaries, with two goals:
- Broaden the perspectives of planners, enabling them to gain insights into challenges and solutions from diverse global contexts. By doing so, they can enhance their effectiveness in addressing issues within their own communities.
- Deepen the understanding of the cultures of different nations and foster a spirit of respect and collaboration, solidifying the foundation to embrace common urban development challenges across borders.
InterPlan covers a wide range of topics in urban and regional planning that significantly impact community welfare. These include economic development, environmental planning, hazard mitigation, housing, land use, placemaking, historic preservation, public health, transportation, urban design, and urban law.
InterPlan accepts articles in English and Spanish.
