Which year was the American Society of Planning Officials (ASPO) founded?

1932
1934
1936
1938

The correct answer is: 1934

The American Society of Planning Officials (ASPO) was founded in 1934, which marked a significant point in the development of professional planning organizations in the United States. This establishment aimed to create a network of planners who could share knowledge and resources, thus enhancing the practice of planning across various municipalities. The founding of ASPO was important as it laid the groundwork for future professional planning organizations and the eventual establishment of the American Planning Association (APA), underscoring the evolution of urban and regional planning as a recognized profession. The incorrect options represent years that are either too early or too late, failing to align with the established record of ASPO's inception.
