Land-Based Classification Standards
SESSION SERIES

The research department of the APA has been working with several federal, state, and local agencies over the past three years to develop new classification, coding, and data standards for land-use data. This session will unveil the new standards that will have widespread implications for how land-use data is collected, tabulated, and reported among the planning agencies around the country. It will also introduce ideas about how to integrate with existing standards, employ new technologies, and apply for current planning problems.
