The American Planning Association and its International Division, along with our partners at the Canadian Institute of Planners, invite planners and related professionals to join us for the 76th Annual World Town Planning Day [1] online conference on Friday, November 7, 2025. 

This year's theme is With Planning We Can! and we are celebrating how good planning empowers communities and provides pathways to prosperity for all. We are shining a spotlight on the contributions of planning, showcasing projects and initiatives that have led to positive impacts for our cities and communities across the globe. From delivering the right homes and in the right locations, linking services and infrastructure planning to the places where we live, work and play, to working with nature to address urban heat or manage water challenges, and working with multiple stakeholders to bring collective solutions for better outcomes for all. We want success stories: reports of innovations, breakthroughs, promising new ideas, but also lessons from planning programs that fell short. When possible, we should show planning as the tool which makes the ideas of elected officials, or the work of other professions become reality.

Nicolas de Salaberry, an RPD alumnus, will present in the first session titled, "Indigenous Values Within the Planning Process". The online event is free to join, but registration [2] is requested.
