SUMMARY:Age-Friendly Communities (CM Pending | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:America is confronting a silver tsunami. For the next 20 years\, 10\,000 baby boomers turn 65 daily\, joining an already growing number over 80+. This profound demographic transition is challenging communities struggling with a tough economy\, and\, is overwhelming to government and community policymakers at all levels. Preparing for this wave is viewed as a political and economic liability – impacting social security\, healthcare costs and services..and placing an added burden on the young. As the vast majority of older adults want to age in place\, they are creating a demand for communities that are age friendly. Age-friendly communities are friendly to all ages\, not just older adults. Ultimately\, young and old want the same things: an environment that allows them to participate and thrive. Financing age-friendly initiatives do not have to be costly. Planners and local governments should give attention to: holistic approach of multigenerational planning\, work underway in cities\, such as New York and Atlanta\, taking creative steps to make their neighborhoods age-friendly and tools such as the Villages movement for self-empowerment on aging-in-place. This session will examine some tools and resources to foster communities friendly to all ages and highlight on-the-ground strategies to ‘fund’ changes. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultural districts and cultural institutions: suns or black holes?
DESCRIPTION:Register \nOne of the first things that many people think about in creative placemaking is creating a cultural district or building a large cultural institution.  While districts and institutions can become catalysts for community-wide creativity and revitalization\, they can also absorb a lot of time\, energy and resources that could be used effectively elsewhere in the community.  Learn how creative placemaking can make it more likely that districts and institutions have a broader impact on their communities.
