About Us: Planning Commission

Our Journey and Mission

Planning Commission was founded in 2017 with a vision to become a leading online resource for all things related to urban planning and government commissions. We recognized an essential information gap on the internet regarding these crucial aspects of society, which inspired us to create a comprehensive platform to bridge that divide.

Our journey began as a passion project by a group of urban planning enthusiasts who shared a desire to make complex planning processes more accessible to the public. Over the years, we’ve grown into a dedicated team committed to delivering unbiased, accurate, and reliable news and insights.
