SUMMARY:Funding Walkable and Bike Friendly Communities
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nCreating walkable and bikable communities is a successful strategy for maintaining and restoring economic vitality and improving public health in a community. \nThe presence of sidewalks and bike facilities increases property values and commercial rents. Sidewalks and connected\, well-maintained pedestrian networks allow people to safely and conveniently patronize local shops\, businesses\, and restaurants. Improved pedestrian and bicycle safety encourages fewer motorists\, leading to less road congestion\, gas consumption and cleaner air. \nIncreasing physical activity by incorporating walking and bicycling trips into daily activity is part of an active lifestyle that is associated with decreased risks for heart disease\, diabetes\, hypertension\, and colon cancer\, as well as an increased sense of mental well-being.Attend this workshop to learn more about the funding opportunities available to help create and maintain safe\, walkable and bikeable environments in your town that provide opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to travel safely. \nWorkshop topics include: \n\nTips and strategies for applying for federal and state grants that can make your project a reality.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Utilizing public-private partnerships for local and region innovation
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nWe live in aworld with much uncertainty about federal level transportation legislation andsufficient funding to maintain existing infrastructure in our communities. With this level of uncertainty about policy and funding\, it can be difficult at the local level to think about projects like bike share\, which can take years to plan and large capital investments to fund. However\, data and research indicatethat millennials and boomers want livable communities where they can live\,work\, and play without having to get into a car. Mobility preferences andtrends are expanding beyond a single occupancy vehicle and cities and townsthat explore and provide safe multimodal transportation options are thriving. Albuquerque’sdowntown pilot bike share\, BICI (ashortened version of bicicleta\, the Spanish word for bicycle and pronounced“bee-see”) launched on May 15\, 2015\, with 15 stations and 75 bicycles amere seven months after local planners started working on the project. Througha creative partnership between the DowntownABQ MainStreet Initiative and the Mid-Region Council of Governments\, and through public-private funding\, Albuquerque was able to realize the first phase of BICI for residents andvisitors. Participants will learn how Albuquerque made BICI a reality without initialmajor capital investments and how the program will continue and grow.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) The New “Cottage” Industry: Housing\, Lodging\, and the Sharing Economy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nThe new Sharing Economy has enabled the availability of private short-term rental properties like never before. Web-based clearinghouses for short-term rentals\, such as VRBO and AirBnB\, have changed the economic and regulatory landscape of short-term rental markets. These changes are felt in municipalities of all sizes. While some communities experience strains on the availability of long-term rental housing\, others value the short-terms rentals as a supplement to traditional lodging options. This session will explore the relationship of the short-term rental sector of the sharing economy to land use and tax regulation and social and economic factors in resort and destination communities. Sponsored by the Small Town and Rural Planning Division.

SUMMARY:New (Webinar) Data Tools for Supporting Analysis of Equitable Development and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nUnderstanding the challenges andopportunities communities face—economic\, social\, and environmental—is a prerequisite for making investments that achieve their goals. To respond to this need\, environmental justice stakeholders have begun developing analytical tools that can give communities rich and accessible information for supporting local goals for environmental protection and equitable development in cities and regions. This webinar will cover two of these tools – EPA’s EJSCREEN\, an environmental justice screening and mapping tool\, and the National Equity Atlas a comprehensive data resource to track\, measure\, and make the case for inclusive growth developed by PolicyLink and the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity. The presentations will explain what these tools are\, how they have been used in real world scenarios to advance equity in local and regional development practices\, followed by questions and answers.

SUMMARY:Building Inclusion into the Millennial City
DESCRIPTION:Building Inclusion into the Millennial City\nby Rolf Pendall \nDirector\, Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center\, Urban Institute \nTuesday\, March 8\, 4:30 p.m.Gov. James J. Florio Special Events Forum\,Civic Square Building33 Livingston Avenue\, New Brunswick\, NJDirections \nThe U.S. city was built for the baby boom. Its bones were formed when the U.S. was in its final decades of legal apartheid and fleshed out over four decades of rising inequality. The baby boom is still here and will continue to shape cities\, suburbs\, and rural areas. But we now need to accommodate a new generation— the millennials—whose coming of age will require millions of new rental housing units. Where will this housing be built? How will established housing and communities adapt to meet their needs while also allowing Baby Boomers to live comfortably well into old age? How do the answers to these questions differ depending on where we look? In this lecture we will look at recent trends\, chart out national future prospects\, suggest alternative scenarios for local areas with a special focus on the Boston to Washington corridor\, and identify policies\,  practices\, and incentives that could make millennial cities more inclusive in 50 years than baby boomer cities are today. \nRolf Pendall is Director of the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute.  In this role\, he leads a team of over 40 experts on a broad array of housing\, community development\, and economic development topics\, consistent with Urban Institute’s nonpartisan\, evidence-based approach to economic and social policy. Pendall’s research expertise includes metropolitan growth trends; land-use planning and regulation; demographic change; federal\, state\, and local  affordable housing policy and programs; and racial residential segregation and the concentration of poverty.   \n1.5 AICP certification maintenance credits.\nLecture and reception free and open to the public. RSVP requested by visiting http://bit.ly/catlin-2016 \nThe Robert A. Catlin Memorial Lecture honors the legacy of Robert A. Catlin\, Bloustein School professor\, who died in July 2004. Catlin began his career as a staff planner for governmental agencies and community organizations in several cities\, including Los Angeles\, Washington\, D.C.\, and New York. He also served as dean of the College of Social Science at Florida Atlantic University\, dean of the Camden College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers\, and provost and vice president for academic affairs at California State University\, Bakersfield. He was inducted as an AICP Fellow in 2001. At the Bloustein School\, he specialized in urban revitalization and the impact of race in public policy decision-making. \n  \n

SUMMARY:(Webinar) The Central Social District - the Key to Tomorrow's Successful Downtowns
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nFor decades\, the terms Central Business District\, CBD and downtown were used almost interchangeably because\, functionally\, downtowns were dominated by retail stores\, office based businesses\, professionals and government agencies\, along with some hotels and maybe entertainment venues. Today\, in downtowns large and small\, the CBD functions are being rivaled or even surpassed by their Central Social District (CSD) functions. That includes housing\, restaurants and watering holes\, and vibrant entertainment niches that include not only venues for formal entertainments such cinemas\, theaters\, museums and concert halls\, but also lively parks\, plazas\, and other gathering areas. Your downtown’s competitive advantage is therefore changing in important ways. Looking beyond the draw of speciality retail and entertainment\, innovative downtown leaders and community planners are seizing on the opportunity to re-brand and fully embrace the downtown as the “heart of the community” where people come to gather\, celebrate\, meet friends\, and make new ones.  Art venues\, libraries\, and a myriad of informal entertainment venues are seen as increasingly important components of downtown revitalization because they improve quality of life and create more vibrant experiences for downtown visitors. But how do they fit into the overall fabric of a downtown\, both economically and physically? What other downtown assets can be leveraged and tied into these types of interventions? This webinar will explain how the concept of the central social distric (CSD)t can be used as a planning tool to integrate new approaches into downtown in a smart\, strategic way. Presenters will discuss downtown business niches  and how they can be grown using the CSD concept. Case studies from two communities will illustrate how the CSD concept supports (and in fact drives) downtown economic development. Participants will also learn about innovative ways to help fund this next wave of downtown investment.

SUMMARY:Fixing Flooding: One Community at a Time
DESCRIPTION:CONFERENCE BACKGROUND:  Flooding\, even from small storm events\, has been affecting the quality of life of New Jersey’s residents.  Based upon a preliminary land cover analysis of New Jersey\, the state has covered 12.1% of the land with impervious surfaces\, which is 1\,055 square miles of impervious cover or 675\,200 acres of impervious cover.  During a one-inch rainfall event\, 18.3 billion gallons of stormwater runs off these surfaces.  Many of these impervious surfaces are directly connected to our local waterways\, meaning that every drop of rain that lands on these surfaces drains directly to a stream\, river\, lake or bay without any treatment or having the opportunity to infiltrate into the soil.  Pollutants accumulate on these impervious surfaces and are washed into New Jersey’s waterways during storm events.  Additionally\, these impervious surfaces prevent rainfall from infiltrating into the ground to replenish the state’s aquifers.  Limited infiltration of rainwater results in reduced base flow to the local streams that rely on groundwater during the dry summer months.  \nGreen infrastructure can be used to reduce the impacts from these impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices such as porous asphalt\, bioretention systems\, and rain gardens can be very effective at capturing\, treating\, and infiltrating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices also can provide an opportunity to collect and use rainwater for non-potable uses.  Many green infrastructure practices provide ancillary benefits such as providing pollinator habitat\, sequestering carbon\, reducing the heat island effect\, and improving air quality. \nOver the last several years\, green infrastructure practices have been implemented across New Jersey.  These projects have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness and resiliency of green infrastructure technologies.  Water resources planning over the last 12 years has resulted in the creation of regional stormwater management plans\, watershed restoration and protection plans\, green infrastructure feasibility studies\, and impervious cover reduction action plans.  All of these plans are good tools to identify opportunities for retrofitting existing development with green infrastructure practices.  Green infrastructure technology has proven to be a cost effective means to reduce the impacts of impervious surfaces.  The final step is to further empower local communities to advocate for green infrastructure and to implement practices. \nPURPOSE:  The purpose of the conference is to educate stakeholders and engage them in addressing the impacts of stormwater runoff from impervious cover.  The workshop will acknowledge on-going efforts by the Sustainable Raritan River Collaborative and showcase their work.  It will also provide attendees an opportunity to network and develop new partnerships so they can better achieve the goal of a sustainable Raritan River Basin. \nREGISTRATION:  To register for this conference\, please click here.   \nRegistration will close at 11pm on Friday\, February 19th!

SUMMARY:LEED – Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nLEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) is the only rating system for sustainable neighborhoods and is the result of a unique collaboration of three highly respected organizations: Natural Resources Defence Council\, Congress for the New Urbanism and USGBC. This half day program will walk through the prerequisites and credits of LEED-ND using two New Jersey LEED-ND Gold certified neighborhoods: Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District and Teacher’s Village\, both located in Newark. Applications of LEED-ND to redevelopment will also be presented\, using a suburban case study in Roselle and an urban case study in Hoboken. Participants will gain a practical understanding of LEED-ND and how to apply its principles in planning and design for future neighborhoods.
