Regional Planning Association (RPA)

The Regional Planning Association (RPA) is an organization focused on improving the quality of life in urban and suburban regions. Founded in 1929, it addresses issues like transportation, land use, housing, and environmental sustainability. Through research, advocacy, and community engagement, RPA aims to create policies and plans that balance growth with livability, ensuring that urban areas are accessible, resilient, and equitable for all residents. Its work often involves collaboration with government, businesses, and community groups to promote a well-planned and inclusive future for metropolitan regions, particularly in the New York City area.
