Course curriculum

Planners are often tasked with assessing potential effects on the community that would result from a development proposal, so our goal is to better arm planners to critically evaluate these studies rather than relying on the executive summary. Panelists will visually walk the attendees through a sample study and providing more context on how the data is collected, the parts that make up a technical document, and what the planner should be looking for. Walk away with more confidence analyzing technical documents and, in some cases, learn to recognize whether an underlying issue has been unaddressed or is being manipulated.
