City and Regional Planning Department

CRP’s annual journal is all new!

It is with great pleasure that I introduce Volume 21 of Focus, the journal of the City and Regional Planning Department. You may have noticed that Focus has a new look this year. After two decades under the editorship of Dr. Vicente del Rio — whose vision shaped the journal — Dr. Dave Amos has taken over as the new editor. Dave has introduced new ideas and a revitalized design for the journal. I extend my gratitude to him and his team for their hard work in making this publication possible.

This edition highlights the impressive work of students and faculty throughout the academic year. Between students engaging in AI research, participating in numerous studio projects with real-world clients and attending conferences and events, there’s much to celebrate.

We hope you enjoy this edition!
