In what year did the American Planning Association form through consolidation?

The year the profession joined under one national umbrella. In 1978, the American Institute of Planners and the American Society of Planning Officials merged to form the American Planning Association. This consolidation unified practitioners and policymakers in a single national organization, enabling consistent standards, resources, and advocacy across the planning field. The other years are simply not the year of this unification.
