The Capital District Planners Association (CDPA) is one of five Sections under the New York Upstate Chapter of the American Planning Association, sharing the mission to involve and engage local professionals from a wide range of interconnected planning disciplines. From urban design to environmental resiliency, planning is scalable, and CDPA aims to provide local resources for education and professional and career development from public to private sector.
Follow us on social media where we post our hosted events and activities, and for shared news and announcements.
We welcome students, public officials, educators and area professionals of the planning industry to be a part of our Section’s network. Take full advantage of Section-, Chapter-, and Nationally-hosted activities by joining the American Planning Association or the local New York Upstate Chapter, who offer customized memberships for anyone applying the benefits of planning to their community.
