Big City Planning Directors Institute 2024

For this in-person, invite-only event, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy brings planning directors from the largest US cities to Cambridge, Massachusetts, for a three-day summit at the Lincoln Institute offices. The Big City Planning Directors Institute is a collaboration of the Lincoln Institute, Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, and the American Planning Association. Planning directors will examine emerging public policy questions that influence the planning and design of large cities and their metropolitan regions. In 2023, the event was attended by 27 directors, representing cities from New York to Los Angeles.
