APPI Virtual Conference Panel Announcement! Planning for Uncertainty – Planning, COVID and the Economy!

Guest Panelists : Yolanda Lew RPP, Stephen Prendiville, and Jamie Doyle RPP, moderated by Peter Ohm RPP

We know that COVID19 has had a seriously negative effect on the economies of the world. Real GDP has diminished, personal, business and government debt has risen, and incomes and revenues have fallen. People have lost their jobs, mortgage failure rates have increased and the real estate market has become unpredictable. However, we do not know if COVID19 is a short term disruption, if it will be more long lasting and deeper disruption, or if it will be followed by another virus causing pandemic.

• Whether short or long term, what can planners learn from the economic impacts of this disruption?
• Will life return to "normal", or will there be a new normal based on the impacts we've already seen?
• What adjustments do we need to consider in the planning process, or to the commonly held goals and objectives of the planning profession in an economic context?

Join the session moderator and panel to explore these questions and more with the audience as they offer their ideas and potential approaches to moving forward despite this uncertainty.
