SPPUD is the University of Idaho student chapter of the American Planning Association and strives to promote place-based planning and community design.

Some of the events we organize!

SPUDD hosted the inaugural Jane's Walk in Moscow in cooperation with the City of Moscow and is planning to make this an annual event. The event honors Jane Jacobs, an urbanist and activist, who championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building and encouraged walkability of cities. Other events include film screenings relevant for community building. This year's film is Broken Limbs, co-sponsored by the Moscow Co-op and will be screened on October 15
