News from APA: Upcoming CM Targeted Planning Topic
/We are excited to inform you that the AICP Commission has approved the next CM Targeted Planning Topic, scheduled to launch on January 1, 2026: Sustainability & Resilience Continuing the momentum on planning for a sustainable future.
After a comprehensive review by the CM Targeted Topic Evaluation Task Force, the decision has been made to continue the focus on Sustainability & Resilience with refreshed guidance for CM providers. This updated approach will help planners address the most pressing issues in these areas and prepare for the challenges of the coming decade.
Why This Matters:
Sustainability and resilience are more than just buzzwords, they are critical to the future of our communities. Education in this topic empowers planners to engage in solutions that build long-term environmental, economic, and social resilience.
Next Steps:
CM providers will have one year to prepare content that aligns with these updated guidelines, ensuring a wealth of relevant, high-quality educational opportunities for planners like you by 2026.
Stay Informed:
Although the new guidelines will take effect in 2026, we encourage you to stay updated on developments.
