The American Planning Association (APA) is a professional organization representing the field of urban planning in the United States.[1] APA was formed in 1978, when two separate professional planning organizations, the American Institute of Planners and the American Society of Planning Officials, were merged into a single organization. The American Institute of Certified Planners is now the organization's professional branch.[2]
