We work with many of the urban planners across the province. The Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Professional Planners (NLAPP) is the provincial membership body for professional planners. NLAPP is a great resource when trying to understand development applications, the Urban and Rural Planning Act, or for new ideas on green infrastructure.

Action: Municipal Placemaking
Placemaking is an approach in municipal planning in which residents, business people, professionals, and municipal leaders work together to shape public spaces. More than just planning a town, Placemaking tries to bring together people of diverse backgrounds to improve a community's economic, cultural, social and ecological functions.
​
What makes a space great? it may be different for everyone, and placemaking is about getting those different perspectives to create better communities.
