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.

Please join us in a candid and information discussion among students and professionals about the realities of the planning profession.  Obtain insight, career advice, and network with practitioners.
