EVIDENCE BASED PLANNING

PUTTING HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND

HEALTH DATA TO WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

Brian Loughlin, Director of Planning and Urban Design at New York-based Magnusson Architecture and Planning said the APA is trying to help smaller municipalities, the ones that don’t have the resources of huge cities and counties, to have tools that demystify the process of interpreting big data. 

“We want all communities to be able to get a quick snapshot of what their housing landscape looks like, so they can better address the housing crisis,” he said.

 

Loughlin said a major issue holding back impactful planning solutions is that programs and legislation stop at city/county boundaries.
