2019 APA Virginia Chapter Annual Conference RESILIENCE
July 21-24, 2019 | Hampton Roads Convention Center & Embassy Suites by Hilton Hampton Hotel
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.
Call for Session Proposals open until Friday, Jan. 25
The 2019 APA Virginia Chapter Annual Conference is the Chapter’s signature event.
