DISCOVER OUR STORY
Who We Are
The Planning Roundtable (TPR) is a global network of practitioners, educators, and students sitting down together to explore actionable urban solutions that build better communities for all.
Supported by the American Planning Association (APA), TPR is driven by a joint effort between the APA International Division and the MIT Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies (SPURS). We evolved from the Affordable Housing Roundtable following the 2023 World Town Planning Day, expanding into a continuous, cross-border platform dedicated to elevating the standard of global planning practice through shared knowledge.
