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

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.

As new neighborhoods spring up\, the City’s physical landscape\, civic culture and demographic profile are rapidly changing\, making Downtown Newark a 24/7 place to be.

During the tour\, we will examine a number of questions\, such as: \n\nHow do LGBT organizing and urban revitalization overlap and complement one another? \nHow has gentrification impacted Newark’s LGBT community?  \nHow can planners and economic development professionals work better with LGBT community
