About Rebuilding America


Mission


Led by President Robert Hunter, FACIP, President-Elect Bruce Knight,
FAICP, and Immediate Past- President David Siegel, FAICP, the task force
will evaluate current conditions and challenges affecting the nation's
vital infrastructure, develop a new vision for the nation's
infrastructure, and identify specific recommendations for changes in
public policy, funding, and planning practice needed to meet the
infrastructure needs of the 21st century. This work will lay out a
blueprint for action needed to increase and improve performance,
competitiveness, community quality of life, citizen choice, equity, and
efficiency.


Reports from the Field


Rebuilding America was launched at the National Design Professionals
Infrastructure Summit in Washington, D.C., on October 20, 2008, when
planners, architects, landscape architects, and engineers began a
discussion of the state of the nation's infrastructure and heard from
experts about options for federal policy and investment. Now the task
force will be conducting a series of regional field hearings throughout
the U. S. convening regional leaders, planners, issue experts,
academics, allied professionals, and engaged citizens. These events will
focus on identifying major issues of local regional concern related to
infrastructure policy and investment.


A Plan for Progress


Watch the APA website for new regional meeting locations and dates.
These hearings will culminate in the proposal of policy and practice
recommendations to be presented at the National Planning Conference in
Minneapolis, April 28-29, 2009.
