UPCOMING EVENTS
Local Public Finance for Planners
You may know a little about how local governments raise and spend money, but do you realize how closely aligned it is to planning work? This session will cover the basics of local public finance and explain why it matters to planners.
Sustainable, Resilient Streets and Trails
The presentation will discuss sustainability and resilience in the context of multimodal transportation, with consideration for stormwater management, conversion of impervious to pervious surfaces, heat mitigation and trees, and user experience.
Does Levittown Matter?
This session will explore their impact on suburban development and mixed legacy over the last 8 decades. It will cover Levittown's history (including several riots), its positive and negative planning legacies, and its role as both a model for suburbia and a cautionary tale about car dependency, discrimination and racial intolerance.
Living on the Edge: Managing for Coastal Resilience in the Built and Natural Environment
This panel presentation will discuss resiliency issues facing planners, tools available to planners, and how specific jurisdictions (Maryland, California, Maine, and Boston) are using those tools to tackle these issues.
