A Way Forward: Urban Design Roles, Tools, and Imaginations »

2025 APA UT Fall Conference, October 9, 2025 1:45 pm

Urban design practice is changing rapidly, and planners are part of that shift. This session explores the expanding definition of the “urban designer” to include planners, policymakers, data scientists, and community advocates. Panelists will share how they’re integrating regenerative design, DEI commitments, and emerging technologies to harness the power of public imagination in shaping future-ready cities. Participants will reflect on their roles as “indirect designers” and consider how their work informs the design of the city, whether through zoning, infrastructure investment, or community engagement. It’s time to embrace design as a shared responsibility—and a powerful tool for change.

Speakers will use their experience working on the multiple initiatives underway in East Zion and the region beyond to illustrate the power of partnerships and collaboration to ensure a better future for their communities.
