What is World Planning Day?

On World Planning Day, planners and communities worldwide come together to celebrate how good planning improves people's lives and benefits society at large, creating places to live, work, and play together. World Planning Day is held on November 08th of every year. To accommodate the scope of this year's event, however, we will be hosting the event on Saturday, November 09th!

What is the DeKalb Green New Deal?

The DeKalb Green New Deal is a people-powered organizing effort that will elevate the realities of the climate crisis, push for bold solutions, and help enact meaningful policy solutions to protect our communities. This looks like clean and efficient energy, conserving nature and ensuring it is accessible, and environmental justice and equity.
