Whether you live in a house or high-rise, drive a car or take a bus, stroll streets or hike national parks . . . you can thank a planner.
Excellent planning positively affects people, places and the environment. It is key to shaping thriving communities able to adapt to physical, economic and social change.
Professional Planners take knowledge of each community and turn it into action in ways that improve public and private development decisions. This is the work of the members we serve as the Alberta Professional Planners Institute.
