About Dalhousie School of Planning Conference:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For over 20 years, the School of Planning\u2019s conference has addressed pressing issues concerning where we live. The conference is organized entirely by a group of students who believe that the exchange of new ideas can bring positive change to a place. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the School of Planning, the community, and the profession to discuss, debate, and advance awareness and understanding of current topics in planning, community design, and innovations in community development. An effort is made to link these themes with related activities occurring elsewhere in Halifax Regional Municipality and the Province.<\/p>\n
