Mitchell J. Silver, AICP, is the Chief Planning and Economic Development Officer for the Department of City Planning in Raleigh, North Carolina. He is also the current President of the American Planning Association.

What we got was sound advice on planning and economic development that would be applicable anywhere in the world.
