Stantec @ 2026 National Planning Conference
Join us for the American Planning Association’s National Planning Conference in Detroit. We’re excited to help shape the future of urban design, planning, and sustainable development.
How will planning change the future?
Communities are changing fast—and the choices planners make today shape how people live, move, and connect for decades to come.
From housing affordability and climate resilience to mobility and access. Planners must balance urgency with fairness—and vision with implementation.
Our Urban Places team partners with communities to turn complexity into action. We bring together planning and urban design, mobility, housing, resilience, and infrastructure to create places that work for people, now and into the future.
Join us at APA’s 2026 National Planning Conference in Detroit. Let’s shape what’s next—together.

Erin Perdu, Senior Urban Planner
The highest compliment I can receive is that a person sees themselves in a plan. Plans truly belong to the residents and not the planners.
Daniel Cohen, Principal
Focus on quality, always. Quality becomes your personal brand, your best marketing tool, and a gateway to more opportunity.
Alison LeFlore, Senior Planner
When the public has clarity, they’re empowered with choice in their community. Partnership is the key to consensus and lasting change.
Katy Shackelford, Grant Specialist
I’ve helped clients secure grants to bring ideas to life and deliver places that people love.
