bio Petra Todorovich is the Director of America 2050, a national planning program based at RPA. This new initiative addresses the anticipated 40% increase in population growth in the U.S. by the year 2050 by strengthening emerging megaregions – extended networks of metropolitan areas – where most the population and employment growth will be focused in the coming decades.

Prior to launching America 2050, Ms. Todorovich directed RPA’s Region’s Core program and coordinated the Civic Alliance to Rebuild Downtown New York, a network of organizations that came together shortly after 9/11 to promote the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site and Lower Manhattan. She has planned numerous public forums and workshops for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center and Lower Manhattan, including the 2002 “Listening to the City” meetings at the Javits Center that brought over 4,500 people together to consider plans for the World Trade Center site. She authored the 2004 Civic Assessment of the Lower Manhattan Planning Process and other pieces of analysis on the rebuilding process and New York City development.

Ms. Todorovich received a Bachelor of Arts in Geography and French from Vassar College and a Master in City and Regional Planning from the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University.
