What is Regional Planning?
Regions are natural, and yet they are not
Regional planning = collaborating for common issues
within a common geography
Regional power must be delegated or ceded from
federal, state or local units

emerging trends in regional planning
“systems” approach : ecosystems & bioregions |
economy | infrastructure | health | housing
horizontal & vertical integration
urban-rural interface
“A region, someone has wryly
observed, is an area safely larger
than the last one to whose
problems we found no solution.”
– Jane Jacobs
trend 3: inclusive engagement & expanded partnerships 10
emerging trends in regional planning
Inclusive Engagement & Expanded Partnerships in Regional Planning
Collaboration | coalitions and partnerships
Performance-focused | iterative planning
from local-regional to regional-state interests (or even
regional-national)
trend 4: new approaches for implementation 11
emerging trends in regional planning
New techniques & approaches for Implementation
Plan regionally – act locally
New partners in implementation – including
universities, foundations, special committees
Performance-based planning requirements
trend 5: forecasting for demographic changes 12

connecting to APA Sustaining Places Initiative 15
emerging trends in regional planning
APA Sustaining Places - Principles for Comprehensive Plans – Topical Areas
Livable Built Environment: Ensure that all elements of the built environment—including land use, transportation, housing, energy, and infrastructure—work together to provide sustainable, green places for living, working, and recreation, with a high quality of life.
Harmony with Nature: Ensure that the contributions of natural resources to human well-being are explicitly recognized and valued and that maintaining their health is a primary objective.
Resilient Economy: Ensure that the community is prepared to deal with both positive and negative changes in its economic health and to initiate sustainable urban development and redevelopment strategies that foster green business growth and build reliance on local assets.
Interwoven Equity: Ensure fairness and equity in providing for the housing, services, health, safety, and livelihood needs of all citizens and groups.
Healthy Community: Ensure that public health needs are recognized and addressed through provisions for healthy foods, physical activity, access to recreation, health care, environmental justice, and safe neighborhoods.
