There's always lively conversation about planning in Los Angeles. But this is an extraordinary year, with four national conferences happening in LA between April and October. All of these conferences move around, so it's remarkable that they're all here:
American Planning Association National Conference, April 14-17, Downtown LA--The professional organization of urban and regional planners, expected to be some 5,000 strong. http://www.planning.org/conference/
Peds Count! 2012, May 3-4, Downtown LA--A new conference devoted to improving conditions for pedestrians and to making sure that walkers are counted (literally) in transportation planning. https://californiawalks.org/Peds_Count_2012.html
Pro-Walk, Pro-Bike, September 10-13, Long Beach--The conference for bicycle and pedestrian planners, expected to draw about 1,000 souls (or 2,000 soles). http://www.bikewalk.org/2012conference/index.php
Railvolution, October 14-17, Hollywood--A Portland conference about transit and transit-oriented development that went national. They do talk about buses sometimes too. http://www.railvolution.org/
