SUMMARY:(Webinar) Solutions for Walkability Challenges
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n  \nAs Philadelphia continues its renaissance into a 24-hour city and its surrounding suburbs become more urbanized\, working with developers to add pedestrian amenities to new construction (while filling in the missing pieces of existing pedestrian infrastructure) is the new norm. How are planners and municipal staff succeeding in filling in these gaps? And how can good design make walking easier for all of us?

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Why Walking Matters
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n  \nWalking is something that nearly everyone does daily. Not only is it our most reliable form of transportation\, it’s good for our collective health\, has little impact on the environment\, and is practically free. It makes sense that as a region we’d do all we could to make it as easy as possible to get people out and about—from our youngest (and most vulnerable) pedestrians to our seniors (who may not always feel as steady on their feet). You may know why walking matters\, but convincing others can be a challenge. Tune in for useful strategies and to see how some planners are doing their part to promote walkability (and healthy decision making).

SUMMARY:(Webinar) The Comprehensive Planner: Taking a Systems Perspective
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n  \nSteve Whitman and Chris Parker will explore the many problems facing communities of all sizes\, and the underlying issue of ecosystem services. They will explore how thinking holistically and using a systems perspective can provide a new way forward for communities. While planning documents may take a systems perspective\, land use regulations seldom do. This integrated approach provides for the regeneration of lost ecosystem services\, and the resulting projects will help your community become more adaptive and resilient over time. Case study examples will be shared to highlight how to apply this approach\, and to serve as a call to action so more planners become part of this collaborative effort.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Taxation: Zoning\, & Licensing for Short-Term Residential Rentals
DESCRIPTION:Register\nIn 2015\, with the Pope and tons of visitors heading to town\, Philadelphia became the largest city in North America to legalize short-term residential rentals (such as ones listed on AirBnB\, HomeAway.com\, and through other booking agents). With changes to the city’s zoning and tax code\, a system was put into place that addressed the interests of property owners renting spare rooms and entire units\, the guests they hosted\, neighbors and traditional hotel operators. An interdisciplinary group worked together to ensure local legislation matched the reality of activity already occurring and the needs of the community. This session will cover the challenges faced and policy options considered\, plus a comparison to other cities and counties across the United States.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Dozen Tools for Accelerating Local Sustainability Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Register\nOver half of the world’s population now lives in cities\, where built environment decisions endure for decades\, impacting social and economic prospects for generations. In response\, a new class of sustainability appraisal tools has emerged that gauge equity\, resiliency\, and resource efficiency at neighborhood\, city\, and urban component scales. These tools can provide stakeholders with inclusive and transparent systems that support and accelerate local leadership on critical issues of sustainability. In the face of a faltering national commitment\, the use and advocacy of these tools by communities takes on even greater significance and urgency. The webinar will examine major U.S. tools for assessing the sustainability of neighborhoods\, cities\, and their components\, including: 2030 Districts\, APA Sustaining Places\, EcoDistricts Protocol\, Enterprise Green Communities\, Envision for infrastructure\, LEED for Neighborhoods\, LEED for Cities & Communities\, Living Community Challenge\, STAR Community\, Sustainable SITES\, and WELL District. Each tool will be reviewed in terms of assessment scope\, intended users\, rating procedure\, costs\, and output. And a set of evaluation criteria will be presented for judging and selecting the best tools for community and neighborhood needs. Webinar learning objectives include: understanding the value of urban sustainability assessment\, recognizing the qualities of an appraisal tool\, learning the range of available tools\, and knowing how to select a tool.

SUMMARY:Mind the Gap: The Importance of Providing Housing for All New Jerseyans
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPolicy Briefing\nMind the Gap: The Importance of Providing Housing for All New Jerseyans \nOctober 14\, 2016\nThe Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\n8:30 AM – 11:00 AM \nThe future of Affordable Housing in New Jersey has been tangled up in the courts for years with no clear end in sight. While policymakers\, far removed from the daily struggles of low-income residents\, work their way through this political stalemate many low and moderate-income residents struggle to find decent housing near job opportunities. The state has focused so heavily on COAH that the more important issue of providing housing at a variety of price points and in the right locations is being overlooked. \nNew Jersey’s failure to plan for and provide housing at the right price is encouraging outmigration and affecting the economy. The panel will discuss the ramifications of such shortfalls\, the need to move forward with planning for affordable housing\, and the benefits to neighborhood stability and investment when affordable housing is made available. New Jersey cannot afford to wait for the court’s decision\, we must begin to plan for and provide a variety of housing choices for all New Jerseyans\, including the middle class. \nAgenda\n8:30 – 9:00 – Registration and networking continental breakfast \n9:00 – 9:30 – Update and Overview of Recent Court Rulings – Henry Kent-Smith\, Esq.\, Fox Rothschild \n9:30 – 10:55 – Panel Discussion \n\nJudge Peter Buchsbaum\, Esq.: Retired\,\nModerator\nJames W. Hughes\, Ph.D.: Distinguised Professor and Dean\, The Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\nChanging demographics and trends in New Jersey\nCaren Franzini: President\, Franzini Consultanting\, LLC\nUsing housing as a strategy to stabilize communities and attract investment\nCharles Latini\, PP\, AICP: Managing Partner\, L&G Planning\, LLC\nThe benefits of planning for a variety of housing types\nArnold Cohen: Senior Policy Coordinator\, Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey\nThe important role of non-profits in providing housing\n\n10:55 – 11:00 – Closing Remarks – Ann Brady\, PlanSmart NJ \nWe will gladly refund reservations until two weeks before the event. \nWe have applied for: AICP CM Credits\, NJ CLE Credit\, RMC & CPWM Municipal Credits \nPresented with: APA-NJ and NJBA

The program focuses on three goals to help you: \n\nIdentify the nature of your retail district\, and its retail potential\nLearn the process that major retailers and shopping center managers use to recruit retailers;\nDevelop skills that you can apply in your district to begin recruiting retail businesses\n\nThe workshop is designed for downtown management and revitalization program staff\, board and volunteers\, as well as elected and appointed officials who want to get ‘under the hood’ of locally-driven business recruitment. \nAgenda\n8:15 – 9:00 am Coffee\, Networking\, and Registration9:00 – 9:45 am Introduction: The principals of retail recruiting9:45 – 10:30 am Many kinds of retail district—what kind is yours?10:30 – 10:45 am Break11:00 -11:30 am What’s important?

For over 25 years\, JGSC has been bringing the tools that they originally developed for major malls into the business districts of communities with downtown retail centers.
