The use of technology is integral to how communities are communicating and engaging their citizens to plan for the future. Rapidly evolving tools for community design and decision making are creating new opportunities to enhance public involvement, share information, and make more informed decisions in cities and towns throughout the country.

The American Planning Association (APA) Technology Division links you with others who share your interest in the use of technology and data in the planning of our urban and rural communities. The Division consists of members with a common interest in the uses and impact of technology in planning the future of our communities.

We believe the planning community needs a voice to advocate for best practices in technology. The Division advocates for the responsible and best use of technology in support of planning.
