At the U.N.'s 5th World Urban Forum in March, APA's President, Bruce Knight, FAICP, formally announced APA's Sustaining Places Initiative. The Sustaining Places Initiative is a multi-year, multi-faceted program to define the role of planning and the comprehensive plan in addressing all human settlement issues related to sustainability, from rural areas and small towns to cities and metropolitan regions.
