After a three-year absence, The Society for American City and Regional Planning History (SACRPH) its thrilled to be hosting its 19th National Conference at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture on the historic campus of The City College of New York in Harlem. SACRPH has developed an innovative format that gives equal weight to virtual presentations and a hybrid keynote (Thursday, October 20, 2022), in-person tours (Friday, October 21), and in-person presentations (Saturday, October 22). Session topics focus on the global, national, regional, and local, with a particular emphasis on engaging participants in the dynamic history of Harlem, upper Manhattan, and the Bronx. The conference is intentionally interdisciplinary, with participants from the fields of history, planning, architecture, urban design, literature, arts, and the social sciences, among others. It's sure to be intellectually inspiring and fun!
