Investing in America’s Blueprint: Why Our Nation Needs a Strong Pipeline of Architects
By Will Wright, Hon. AIA|LA – Director of Government & Public Affairs, AIA Los Angeles
The strength of the United States has always been visible in its skyline, its infrastructure, and the resilience of its communities.

Redefining LA:
The Built Environment in Action As we reflect on the past year in Los Angeles, one thing is clear: place matters more than ever. From ongoing housing and affordability pressures, to small business recovery, to the role culture and food play in neighborhood identity and economic resilience, LA is actively redefining what equitable development looks like in real time. These are not abstract
conversations - they are unfolding in our communities every day.
That's why Urban Marketplace 2026 feels especially timely. Urban Marketplace is our region's signature convening where public, private, and community leaders come together to move beyond theory
and into action around the future of LA's built environment.
