Book cover showing a calm gray-blue body of water with dark, weathered wooden pilings jutting up from the surface and reflecting in the ripples. White text reads: “MORE WATER LESS LAND NEW ARCHITECTURE: Sea Level Rise and the Future of Coastal Urbanism,” by Weston Wright. Smaller text at the bottom reads: “Forewords by Kenneth Frampton and Ana Tostoes. Afterwords by Karsten Harries and Rasmus Waern.” The AADR logo appears in the top right corner.
Drawing on ideas from his book "More Water Less Land New Architecture," Wright will examine how the relationship between land and water has shaped cities, policies, and development patterns, and why many of those frameworks are increasingly misaligned with climate realities.
In a March 24, 12 p.m. ET webinar, architect and author Weston Wright will introduce the concept of wet architecture—an approach to design and planning that accepts water as a permanent condition and explores how we might live more productively with it.
As climate change accelerates and sea levels continue to rise, communities are being forced to rethink long-standing assumptions about land, development, and risk.

From the euphoria of exploring urban hiking trails to the importance of public-private partnerships & strategic planning, Lincoln Vibrant Communities participant Darryl Washington (Jefferson County Greenways CEO) shares his perspectives on learning & leadership in our latest #FellowsFriday profile.
Promotional graphic for the Lincoln Vibrant Communities Teams Program. At the top, black text on a light gray background reads: “Structured support. Expert assistance from a dedicated coach. Hands-on project development. A master plan addressing an issue facing your community.” Below, a group photo shows five smiling adults standing in front of a blue-green step-and-repeat backdrop with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and Claremont Lincoln University logos, framed by blue, green, and white balloons. They hold branded signs and props, including “Claremont Lincoln University,” a lightbulb-shaped sign, an open-book prop, “The Dream Team,” and “We are Lincoln Vibrant Communities.” Large black text over the lower part of the image reads: “Lincoln Vibrant Communities Teams Program” with italic text underneath: “Apply today!” At the bottom are the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and Claremont Lincoln University logos.

Looking ahead, we are excited to invite you to the 2027 CSP Conference (our 10th!), which will bring us together in Los Angeles, California, to continue shaping the futures of planning and decision-making.
We are still energized by the incredible momentum and community spirit we experienced at the 2026 Consortium for Scenario Planning Conference in Salt Lake City in February, where practitioners, researchers, and partners came together to explore new ideas, tools, and collaborations.

March 1 was World Futures Day, and we're proud to reaffirm our shared commitment to thinking long-term and acting strategically.
In a recent #FellowsFriday interview, environmental and urban economist Rhiannon Jerch (formerly a C. Lowell Harriss Dissertation fellow) discusses the connections between infrastructure and urban growth and reveals a relatively low-cost way for cities to boost transit ridership.

Drawing on interviews with planners in 5 N. American cities—Boston, Denver, Portland, Vancouver, & Washington, DC—the report proposes a framework to guide equitable climate urbanism, emphasizing cross-sector collaboration, resilient housing, place-based adaptation, & inclusive community engagement.
Cover of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Policy Focus Report titled “Planning in a Polycrisis: Equitable Urban Strategies for a Changing Climate.” The design features dark purple bands at the top and bottom with white text. The central image is a wide aerial view of a dense suburban neighborhood under a dramatic wall of wildfire smoke or haze stretching across the horizon beneath a blue sky. Bottom text credits the authors—Emilia Oscilowicz, James J. T. Connolly, and Isabelle Anguelovski—and identifies it as a Policy Focus Report from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
The Lincoln Institute’s newest Policy Focus Report and Policy Brief, published today, offer actionable strategies to help cities advance equitable policies that integrate climate-conscious planning with these considerations.
