50th Anniversary ACSP Conference
October 1-4, 2009 - Crystal City, Virginia

Reinvesting in America: The New Metropolitan Planning Agenda

Local Hosts: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, University of Virginia, and Virginia Commonwealth University

Metropolitan issues came to the forefront in 2008 as the nation elected its first “urban” president in decades. Metropolitan areas, even many exurbs, strongly favored the Democratic candidate Barack Obama. Now President Obama promises a new metropolitan agenda complete with a just-created Office of Urban Policy. The administration also pushed for a significant reinvestment in all types of infrastructure ranging from traditional public works projects to cutting-edge green technologies.

The political environment in Washington may be the most favorable for planners since the Great Society era of the 1960s. It is timely that we recognize the 50th anniversary of ACSP at a moment when planning is once again on the rise and that we meet in the nation’s capital at a moment of expanding federal support.
