About the Section
As the Lehigh Valley/Berks Section of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association, we represent a diverse and far-ranging group of communities. From the bucolic farmlands of Berks County to the urban core of Allentown, we are a group of planners and like-minded individuals who support healthy communities and vibrant places. Among other things, we share in common a desire to make great communities happen in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The counties that make up our section are Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton.
