Frank Fish, FAICP, principal with BFJ Planning, will present the Bloustein School’s annual Isadore Candeub Memorial Lecture in Planning on Thursday, October 9, at 4:00 p.m.. This year’s lecture will be “How Planning has Changed in the 21st Century: Adapting to Shifts in Planning Practice.”
The annual Isadore Candeub Memorial Lecture was established in the memory of Isadore Candeub in tribute to his long and successful career as a planning consultant and to his extraordinary dedication to planning in towns, cities and regions across America.
