Planners know that a long range, comprehensive plan begins with a demographic analysis.  Who is here now, and who might be living here in the next 10 or 20 or 50 years, and what do we need to do to prepare for that future.  If recent statewide trends are any indication - stagnate population growth, increases in an aging cohort, loss of educated young talent - our economic future will be compromised unless action is taken now.  Establishing Michigan as a climate haven benefits our state in so many ways . . . even if it doesn’t materialize.

MAP’s 2023 Spring Institute will weave together a story about the interconnectedness of our people, and how we must act now to create plans and policies that result in a resilient, robust and responsible Michigan that meets the social, economic, and environmental needs of all present and future Michiganders. 

We’ll hear from state and national leaders who will expertly make the link between people and population, place and prosperity, policy and plans, and how planners can influence excellent outcomes.
