TOGETHER NORTH JERSEY plans to host a day-long workshop to introduce the concept of HIAPs and train participants in approaches to HIAP, leaving them with the tools they need to undertake a HIAP approach in “non-health” decision-making.
Please join Together North Jersey, the NJTPA, and Hunterdon County for a
public workshop to gather input for the plans that will shape the future of
North Jersey.
The workshop is part of a series being held throughout the region by Together North Jersey, a consortium of local, state, and regional partners working together on a Regional Plan for Sustainable Development. These workshops are an opportunity for the public to share ideas about planning for the future to build stronger communities and local and regional economies. The NJTPA also will be on hand to discuss Plan 2040, its update to the long-range transportation plan for the region.
The Emerging Professionals Group has teamed with ASCE's young member group to host a joint networking event.
The City Planner Book Club Meet-up is scheduled for Thursday, March 21 at 6:00PM. The meeting will beat The Merchant in Jersey City.

"From Jersey to Dixie: Issues of Place and Planning" is a documentary, created by Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy students Brandon McKoy and Susannah Dyen, that compares and contrasts planning issues in New Jersey and the Southern region of the United States (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana).
Registration Open! As the lights come back on in New York and New Jersey, the region looks to the future. How can planning create a more resilient region? Who will make the tough decisions? And how will they change the way people live, work, and play along the coastal shores?

As bike sharing systems are proliferating in cities across the US, and early systems in Boston and Washington, DC are coming of age, we examine the different metrics on which bike share programs can be evaluated. What does bike share success mean? Financial self-sufficiency, or even profitability? Improved mobility? Improved public health? Reduced GHG emissions? How can we measure the cultural impact of bike share? Or should we simply be concerned about operational success--keeping the trains running on time.
This conference, sponsored by the Raritan Valley Community College and the New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club, will discuss the idea of building on parking lots near transit. Leading experts from the business community, environmental organizations, and academia will be featured.
