Overview and metadata sections

The American Planning Association, Pennsylvania Chapter was originally established in 1985 as the Pennsylvania Planning Association, through the consolidation of the Central Pennsylvania, the Eastern Pennsylvania, and the Pittsburgh Regional chapters of the American Planning Association (APA). The chapter was founded to provide leadership in the development of vital communities, creating the organization as an advocate for excellence in community planning through education, empowerment, partnership, and public policy. The chapter's central platform is to engage its diverse membership; to meet the challenges of growth and change in municipalities across Pennsylvania by positively influencing the provision of resources and practice of planning at all levels among public and private sectors. Among the many activities developed to support professional planners and planning officials were annual conferences; regional planning workshops; a quarterly newsletter, Pennsylvania Planner, created in 1980, and redesigned in 2003 as The Vantage Point; legislative policy briefs and alerts; and peer counseling.

In 1992, the Pennsylvania Planning Association Chapter established the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Education Institute (PMPEI) for the purpose of providing training in community planning and land use regulations for appointed planning commissioners, zoning hearing board members, elected municipal officials, and others in the conduct and policies of planning in Pennsylvania under state law. Instituted over the years, these programs aided the organization in its growth, development, and expansion, with members committed to planning across urban and rural contexts.

In 2007, the Pennsylvania Planning Association was renamed the American Planning Association, Pennsylvania Chapter, signifying membership within the national body of the APA, with six sections including Central Section Lehigh Valley Section, Northeast Section, Northwest Section, Pittsburgh Regional Section, and Southeast Section. This coincided with the organization hosting the first APA National Planning Conference held in Philadelphia.

The collection is fifty linear feet and covers the period from 1948 to 2006. The APA-PA Chapter records document the administrative activities of the organization and how they followed their primary mission and concern: the advancement of community planning through education, empowerment, partnership, and public policy. The collection includes correspondence, memoranda, reports, programs, newsletters, oral histories, planning project proposals, and award nominations.

The collection is arranged into fifteen series. The Awards and Comprehensive Plans series comprise the bulk of the collection (thirty-five linear feet). For this reason, the collection can best be used to examine the various planning projects conceptualized, designed, and implemented by planning officials and organizations from 1959 to 2006. While both series contain comprehensive plans, the PPA Awards series has planning proposals, and documents individuals and organizations either nominated or rewarded for excellence in the field of planning in Pennsylvania.

The collection is arranged into 16 series as follows:

Series 1: Administration, 1974-2002

Series 2: Committees, 1970-2002

Series 3: Membership, 1985-2002

Scope and Contents

This series contains comprehensive plans submitted to the APA-PA Chapter by members from 1954 to 2004. The comprehensive plans are rich in planning resources and research concerning state and local polices regulating planning in Pennsylvania. Among the many areas of research, projects, and programs explored are residential and township development, historic preservation, land development ordinance, regional planning, environmental pollution control and management, and land use and traffic studies. In addition, many of the comprehensive plan submissions are housed with supporting material including handbooks, handwritten notes, correspondence, slides, and compact discs. The plans are as varied as the individuals and organizations who submitted plans and include plans from Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Some of the plans in this series may have been submitted to the APA-PA Chapter Awards Program held at the Annual Conference.
