UF Urban and Regional Planning students attend the 2023 National Planning Conference in Philadelphia, immersing themselves in informative sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities to enhance their skills and expand their professional planning network.

Conference Day

The URP department proudly sponsored the NPC 2023 conference. Planning students took part in tabling efforts, connecting with alumni and those interested in UF’s planning programs.

A special thanks to the department for providing funding for every student, ensuring that all had the opportunity to attend the conference and benefit from this valuable experience.
