SUMMARY:Diverse\, or Not Diverse? That Is the Question...for the Planning Profession (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, Leonardo Vazquez\, Founder and Director of The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking\, authored and researched the report “Lagging Behind: Ethnic Diversity in the Planning Profession in the APA New York Metro Chapter Area – Findings and Recommendations” to better understand issues related to ethnic diversity and to gather suggestions for increasing diversity in the planning profession. Supplemented with insight and editing from Mitchell Silver\, APA President\, the report found that the planning profession is diversifying but at a much slower rate than the general population. This webinar will take a look back at this study and discuss to what extent the planning profession truly reflects the ethnic makeup of the communities that we serve. \nOne of the strategies for repairing this disparity is to actively expose and engage underrepresented populations in planning through various outreach techniques. Charles Brown\, Senior Researcher at the Voorhees Transportation Center will lead a discussion on the need to write more people of color into the world of cycling and providing underserved communities with active transportation choices. Karyn Williams\, co-founder of Velo City\, and Tiffany Robinson\, Chair of the APA-NJ’s Ethnic & Cultural Diversity Committee\, will discuss their experiences in teaching minority youth in underserved communities about the community planning process and empowering them with the skills needed to discuss urban issues. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Voorhees Town Center Walking Tour (CM | 2.0 Pending)
DESCRIPTION:Planning Objectives:  Redevelopment and revitalization\, Urban/Suburban retro-fit design\, affordable housing\, economic development. \n\nVoorhees Town Center is a mixed use development consisting of retail\, restaurant\, office and residential uses; and is the result of the creative and deliberate transformation of a struggling suburban indoor mall.  The Echelon Mall opened in 1970 and had a gross leasable area of more than 1.1 million square feet\, making it the second largest mall in southern New Jersey after the Cherry Hill Mall. The Echelon Mall thrived until the 1990s\, but declined in popularity until the vacancy rate reached nearly 75% in 2005.  The mall was located in the center of a residential and commercial area\, but did not have major highway frontage. Recognizing the potential to reinvent the center to respond to changed market conditions\, the owners of the site partnered with the Township to initiate a redevelopment and revitalization effort.  A redevelopment plan was prepared for the site\, to encourage and enable the transformation of the site\, and it was decided that the Township’s new municipal facilities would be located at the site. The site plan and subdivision were approved in 2006\, ground breaking took place in 2007\, and the new municipal offices opened in 2011.  \nOfficially renamed Voorhees Town Center\, the former Echelon Mall site now includes a mix of retail\, restaurant\, office and residential uses.  The area of the indoor mall has been “right sized”\, reduced and rehabilitated to accommodate a mix of shops and services inside without having excessive space to fill\, while a complementary mix of  shops\, restaurants and services along with 425 residential units (including affordable units to assist the Township in meeting its fair share obligation) have been developed adjacent to the mall.  The site has been designed so that all of the elements come together as parts of a new town center.  A tree-lined\, main street “boulevard” connects each aspect of the project and features boutiques\, services and a variety of dining options.  The reshaping and modernization of the Echelon Mall site is an exceptional example of the potential to reinvent dying suburban malls using traditional design principles and focusing on creating a “sense of place”.  \nThe tour will walk around the Voorhees Town Center site\, beginning at the new town hall with a brief presentation of the background and history of the site and the redevelopment initiative.  The tour will be led by representatives of the developers as well as the Mayor and Township administrator and will explore progress that has been made\, the work that is currently underway\, challenges that have been overcome\, and where additional opportunities may be realized in the future.  \nPlease RSVP to Leah Furey Bruder at leah_furey@yahoo.com

SUMMARY:City Planner Book Club Meet-Up (CM | 1.5)

Our current selection is The Devil in the White City: Murder\, Magic\, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America. On the third month of these quarterly cycles\, the chapters will organize an in-person meet-up to discuss the featured book at length. Between the time of introduction and meeting-up\, CPBC members are encouraged to participate on Facebook to share their ideas in real-time. Our December 2012 meet-up will be held at BXL Zoute from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. \nRSVP with APA-NJ PDO Christopher Brown at PDO@njplanning.org.
