SUMMARY:Policy Briefing: NJ's Complicated Affordable Housing Policies-Considering the Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\nCOAH is in the midst of its third attempt at making rules for the “third round\,” which began in 1999! The two previous attempts (in 2004 and 2008) were overturned by the courts. The Supreme Court has already been requested to short-circuit the current rule proposal before COAH even adopts it. Given the quagmire of this recent history of COAH proposals and litigation in NJ\, maybe it’s time to review how other states are facilitating affordable housing production and to consider how their experiences could reshape New Jersey’s approach. \nLeading the discussion is Rachel Bratt\, Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning\, Tufts University\, and author or co-author of many articles\, reports\, and chapters in books on housing policy. She will highlight affordable housing strategies from other states and assess their applicability in New Jersey. Two response panels will follow her remarks. The first panel\, consisting of planners and housing advocates\, will discuss key trends\, policy principles\, and what could work in New Jersey. The second panel will feature housing developers and a local official to ground the discussion in real world experiences. There will be ample time for questions and answers. \nAgenda\n8:30 Registration & Continental Breakfast \n9:00 Rachel Bratt\, Tufts University – Model Affordable Housing Policies and How Applicable to New Jersey; Author of Rebuilding a Low-Income Housing Policy and a co-editor ofCritical Perspectives on Housing and A Right to Housing: Foundation for a New Social Agenda. \n9:30 Response Panel: Conditions in New Jersey \n\nPhilip B.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Regulating Electronic Message Centers
DESCRIPTION:On-premise digital signs have demonstrated a proven ability to increase results for those that utilize them for commercial and community-oriented purposes. However\, many communities are relatively unfamiliar with this rapidly evolving technology\, and have concerns that these kinds of signs will create aesthetic\, safety and enforcement problems for their communities. Nearly all stakeholders struggling with digital signs and their regulation often have the same questions\, such as:  \n\nWhat really are these digital signs and how do they work?\nHow is electronic technology evolving?\nIs there any way for the community-at-large to actually benefit from them?\nHow can we strike a balance between allowing businesses to use digital signs without creating aesthetic concerns?\nHow do we allow them without looking like Las Vegas\, or negatively impacting community safety?\nHow do we regulate them in ways that are understandable and enforceable\, without having to hire additional staff?\n\nHosted by James Carpentier\, AICP\, and presented by Wendy Moeller\, and Mike Freeborg\, Director of Government Relations for YESCO\, the presentation of answers these questions\, and provides practical\, solution-focused guidance that can set the foundation for regulations that allow for the opportunity to leverage this technology while protecting community aesthetic values and safety concerns. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Participant Experience Design: New Communication Strategies to Make Public Engagement More Effective
DESCRIPTION:Click Here to Register\nPlanners currently use diverse engagement tools and processes to reach “beyond the usual suspects” and get outside of City Hall to gather input. However\, reports\, findings\, draft and published plans all are still communicated in very traditional forms – long\, jargon-filled documents with limited ways to explore the content non-linearly or comment on it. For example\, even beautiful and well-designed PDF plan documents can miss communicating the true findings\, because they are stuck in one dimension with long\, dense blocks of text. Interactive media\, instant publishing\, and social media have changed the way people consume and process information\, which has raised expectations for how planners should communicate. Think about the New York Times’ long-form journalism: short videos\, interactive maps and charts\, and other interactive media. What if we communicated plans like that? During this webinar\, we will: 1. Begin by exploring inspiring possibilities for communicating complex topics\, scenarios\, and plan documents in simple\, intuitive ways; this overview draws from strong engagement principles and summarizes “what you need to know” when planning and budgeting; 2. Specifically discover how interaction design\, gamification\, and publishing for different devices can reach more (and more diverse) audiences compared to traditional media; 3. Share examples of data visualization techniques to more effectively showcase findings and results; and 4. Open the “floor” for participants to share their experiences\, challenges\, and ideas. Each focus area will be presented around promising examples of recent planning projects from around North America and feature key takeaways that planners can start using today.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultural Sustainability: Heritage Preservation and Place-making
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n“Heritage Preservation” acknowledges the value of historic buildings and landmarks while sensitive to the stories\, institutions\, and cultural imprint of incumbent residents within our communities. Redevelopment initiatives that compromise cultural heritage are not sustainable due to the loss of assets that are irreplaceable. For this webinar\, award-winning developers from urban and tribal communities will discuss how to successfully strike a balance between economic development and the sustainable management of cultural assets. They will explain how just “being green” is a restrictive interpretation for sustainability. Participants will learn ways sustainability can conserve resources; respect local culture\, heritage and tradition; focus on quality balanced with economic opportunity for residents; optimize the visitor experience by applying a creative mix of cultural\, natural and historic resources. The webinar will reveal successful placemaking is not measured in numbers alone\, but also in the integrity of the experience that contributes to economic viability of the institutions\, resources\, community and its residents. \n

SUMMARY:Health Impact Assessments (CM Pending | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is an emerging area of practice in the United States that is designed to be a practical tool that can be used to incorporate “health in all policies” into decisions made outside the traditional health fields that have impacts on health (transportation\, land use\, development\, infrastructure\, housing\, education\, policy).  HIA promotes a structured six step approach that still allows sufficient flexibility to be molded to various types of projects\, programs and policies at a local\, regional\, state or federal level.  By bringing together scientific data\, health expertise and public input\, HIA is a systematic approach to identify and assess the potential positive and negative health effects of decisions related to policies\, programs or projects. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:City Planner Book Club Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:A pioneering urban economist presents a myth-shattering look at the majesty and greatness of cities.America is an urban nation\, yet cities get a bad rap: they’re dirty\, poor\, unhealthy\, environmentally unfriendly . . . or are they? In this revelatory book\, Edward Glaeser\, a leading urban economist\, declares that cities are actually the healthiest\, greenest\, and richest (in both cultural and economic terms) places to live. He travels through history and around the globe to reveal the hidden workings of cities and how they bring out the best in humankind. Using intrepid reportage\, keen analysis\, and cogent argument\, Glaeser makes an urgent\, eloquent case for the city’s importance and splendor\, offering inspiring proof that the city is humanity’s greatest creation and our best hope for the future. \nQuestions?  Contact APA-NJ PDO\, Christopher Brown at pdo@njplanning.org \nSource: http://www.amazon.com/Triumph-City-Greatest-Invention-Healthier/dp/0143120549
