Welcome to the Texas Citizen Planner (TCP) program, a planning education program for locally elected and appointed officials. Every day, local governments are confronted with planning decisions–large and small–that will shape how their communities grow for years to come. Instruction by planners, researchers, and other leaders from across Texas will provide local officials with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about community choices.
Texas Citizen Planner provides a broad-based planning curriculum focusing on issues important to Texas communities, covering foundational topics such as legal authority, policy tools, and best practices.
The upcoming Texas Citizen Planner Program is a 6-session training course for local, appointed officials, and other planning-related professionals.
This program will cover planning concepts every local official needs to know, including:
- Planning topics and trends for a positive community vision and quality of life
- How to use planning tools to improve development
- Legal and technical aspects of planning
