Since 2006, we've had the opportunity to work with communities across the country, helping shape plans, codes, and places that support vibrant, walkable, and resilient futures. As we celebrate this milestone, we're reflecting on the journey that brought us here and looking ahead to the opportunities still to come. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey!
