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.

SUMMARY:Promoting Active Communities Through Pedestrian and Bicycle Planning (CM Approved | 1.5)

SUMMARY:Planning for the Possible
DESCRIPTION:Visionary Planning in Québec and New England\nVisionary thinking was\, in many ways\, the foundation of the modern city planning profession. Early planners like Burnham\, Olmsted\, Tugwell\, MacKaye\, and others used an emerging suite of analytical tools\, reasoning\, and design to paint exquisite pictures of what the future could hold: plans that the American Planning Association today celebrates as “landmark”. As the profession has evolved and grown\, however\, planning has become increasingly ensconced within the routine administrative functions of local government. Somewhere in the middle of the 20th century a concern for predictability\, risk avoidance\, and conservatism impacted the very heart and soul of planning; we went from planning for the possible to planning for the probable. This conference seeks to redirect the momentum of contemporary city planning back toward a creative exploration of what places could be instead of what they are likely to become. \nHosted by the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University with funding provided by the Government of Québec and the Government of Canada\, the Planning for the Possible Conference will be held at Asean Auditorium at Tufts University on Friday\, March 28th\, 2014. Free tickets are available here\, and are on a RSVP basis. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Planning resources to improve resilience in your county (CM Approved | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:“Challenging” might be the best way to describe the average workday for many county planners along the U.S. coast and Great Lakes. Quite a few counties continue to add residents and development at a time when planners are striving to safeguard natural resources and area economies\, prepare for intensified natural hazards\, and adapt to climate change impacts such as sea level rise. Planners are finding these challenges a bit easier to tackle with the online Digital Coast\, which hosts free data along with the training and tools needed to turn that data into useful information. The inundation mapping data and tools are helping them address flood frequency issues and lidar data sets help with shoreline mapping\, beach restoration\, and documenting the ‘footprints’ of beachfront buildings—important information to know if a future storm causes heavy damage. And a member of a township planning commission in Menominee County\, Michigan\, is a fan of C-CAP data because the knowledge they have learned about their grasslands\, open lands\, vegetation\, and forests\, will benefit the development of their master plan. Both the American Planning Association and the National Association of Counties are partners in the Digital Coast effort\, which is led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). During the webinar easily accessible web-based products will be discussed as well as case studies of how they have been applied. From this webinar participants will learn about C-CAP land cover data\, the Coastal County Snapshot\, Economics: National Ocean Watch (ENOW) data\, Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer\, and the Historical Hurricane Tracks website.

SUMMARY:Connecting Public Lands Planning to Local Communities (CM Approved | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plays an integral role with the public\, state and local governments\, and Native American tribes in Nevada. Do you sometimes wonder how the BLM makes decisions? Not familiar with some of the legal mandates that the BLM must follow to make projects happen in cooperation with local communities? Although officially created in 1946\, the BLM did not have any overarching legal mandate for managing its public lands until the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) was passed by Congress thirty years later. FLPMA is rooted in the importance of planning and public involvement and the history of the BLM is also closely intertwined with the history of the western frontier in the United States. The purpose of this session is to introduce participants to the origins of the BLM\, FLPMA\, and other related laws for managing the Nation’s most extensive network of public lands. A better understanding of why and how the BLM works with the public\, partners and diverse interests improves inter-jurisdictional collaboration to meet shared goals. \nClick here to register. \n

SUMMARY:Water Conservation Strategies for Municipalities and Community Organizations
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nWater is a critical natural resource that supports essential human activities as well as ecological functions. Shortages can have dangerous and significant implications for public health as well as for the local economy and for ecological integrity. In addition to reduced groundwater recharge from increasing impervious surfaces\, demands on New Jersey’s limited water supply due to population growth and development have greatly increased. There are several opportunities for municipalities to conserve and protect water\, and gain credit within Sustainable Jersey. \nA Water Conservation Ordinance can help municipalities curtail unnecessary water waste. Sustainable Jersey’s Water Conservation Ordinance seeks to help extend available supplies through short-term drought periods\, and to avoid recurrent drought warnings/water emergencies caused by late summer “drought.” Educating residents and stakeholders about water conservation can help municipalities to conserve this valuable resource and earn additional points in Sustainable Jersey. \nThe GreenFaith Water Shield is a structured set of activities and resources for the faith community to use in their water conservation efforts. The faith sector\, with their sizeable properties and large membership\, offers a significant environmental and outreach opportunity for municipalities. The Shield is a national designation signifying that a faith-based institution has taken steps – educational\, spiritual\, and practical – to conserve water\, protect water quality\, and mobilize its members and community to do the same at home.  \n\nRandall Solomon\, Co-Director of Sustainable Jersey\, will present a short overview of the Sustainable Jersey Water Conservation actions.\nThe webinar will also include a presentation from a municipality that has implemented the Water Conservation Ordinance and conducted Water Conservation Education and Outreach.\nLearn about the Green Faith Water Shield designation from Stacey Kennealy of Green Faith.\n\nThis webinar has been approved for 1 CEU (Technical) for Public Works Managers
