Details/DescriptionThe 2019 Annual Conference is the Chapter’s signature event. For the 49th Annual Conference, the chapter will continue to offer a conference program that exemplifies the best of Virginia’s planning practice, theory, projects and planners. The 2019 Conference theme is Resilience – Values, Places, Holistic.
Resilience is not simply the tool by which we stop the forces impacting our communities, be it sea level rise, drought, or poverty. It is also how we shape our communities to fit our vision. To do this, our plans for resilient communities must be based in the values of that community. They must also take into the account the individual places and the physical characteristics and culture that vary neighborhood by neighborhood. When done correctly, resilience will be a holistic approach to community development, building strong economies, social connections and natural systems.
