Live From Vegas: Millennial Planners, Activist Planners, & The CE Soap Opera

I'm at the Paris Hotel on the Vegas strip for the 100th annual American Planning Association (APA) conference, which started Saturday, and runs through Thursday, May 1. The conference offers 300 sessions and 60 mobile workshops to the approximately 5,000 participants. And it's going to be a crowded week, if the 30-minute line for coffee this morning in the Paris boulangerie is any indication. Infrastructure matters; Planners should be politically active.
