The Luskin Latin American Cities Initiative ( https://ciudades.luskin.ucla.edu/ ) is hosting a workshop on urban planning this Friday, February 8th from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The main objective of the workshop is to compare the roles of Federal and State entities in local planning efforts both in Mexico and California, and to begin a collaboration between cities. We will have planning representatives from the cities of Los Angeles, Compton, academics from UC Irvine and UC Davis, a representative of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, and the director of the APA Los Angeles Chapter. We will also have the participation of the current directors of IMPLANes (Municipal Planning Institutes) from Mexicali, Tijuana, Ensenada, as well as the Executive Director of the Mexican Association of Planning Institutes (AMIMP), and a representative from SEDATU. Half of the presentations will be in Spanish.
