During the first session, experts in planning and economic development will discuss the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Discussion will revolve around the nexus of planning and economic development and will feature how TSMC is a key driver for both and what its impact means for the future of Phoenix.

The potential for future low-runoff conditions in Arizona and limitations on water use are coming key parts of the development discussion. In the second session, three water experts will discuss what non-experts in the development community need to know—how we got here, what to expect, and where we should be paying attention.

The lunch hour will feature keynote remarks from Joy Rich, AICP.  Joy recently retired as County Manager of Maricopa County after a distinguished career in planning and governance. She will reflect on her experiences and explain how planning does (and does not) fit well with management. 

The afternoon begins with an exploration of innovative affordable housing tools from three of the state’s major cities.  This will be followed by a discussion on sustainable development, with a focus on resilience hubs and parking for livable communities.  Our day ends with our annual overview of current land use legislation and case law.

We look forward to seeing you in person this year!
