The 2016 Annual American Planning Association's  New York Upstate Chapter Conference is an opportunity for planners and community advocates to learn and share successful strategies for revitalization in the Upstate region.  

The conference theme “Rust Belt Reborn” celebrates a vibrant return to urban centers and the promotion of active community lifestyles.  Against the backdrop of former industrial landscapes, communities are being reinvented with new residential, commercial and public uses.  

Buffalo exemplifies the potential to reintroduce the heritage of the City to the community and welcome visitors to its extraordinary cultural landscape.
