SUMMARY:(Webinar) Tools & Techniques for Virtual Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nHow can community leaders continue to engage stakeholders and other members of the public in important local decisions when staying safe means staying home? The MSU National Charrette Institute and the Form-Based Codes Institute at Smart Growth America are partnering to deliver a series of webinars to provide local leaders\, developers and advocates with tools and examples for staying in touch\, sharing ideas\, and getting interactive feedback to keep critical decisions moving forward. Many of these techniques\, while essential in this time of separation\, have the potential to engage new\, hard-to-reach segments of the community\, and will be useful\, even beyond this current crisis.  \nIn this FREE June 2 webinar\, hear from experts and practitioners about how a range of virtual engagement tools are being used to bring citizen stakeholders into critical public policy decision making when face-to-face engagement is not an option. Across the country\, local governments are keeping the wheels of government turning with virtual platforms for polling\, brainstorming and discussions\, collaborative design\, and public hearings. Some are finding these new methods more welcoming\, making it easier for stakeholders\, who previous were left out to participate. Join us for a discussion on what these platforms are how they are being used\, and the promise they hold for expanding engagement in the long-term\, even when face-to-face options are again possible. \nMichigan State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs\, services and activities. Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by contacting the event contact two weeks prior to the start of the event. Requests received after this date will be honored whenever possible. \n

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Micromobility in Your Community
DESCRIPTION:Technology and changes being brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic are at the forefront of growing demand for new and emerging travel options in the NJTPA region. A convergence of both conventional and power-assisted bicycles and scooters\, and other “mini-modes” are behind a radical rethinking of short distance and first-/last-mile access. While this micromobility revolution is attracting a variety of shared ride\, commercial and personal users\, many communities are looking for answers on how to incorporate them safely\, equitably and sustainably through community policies\, effective programs and roadway infrastructure. Join our panel of experts as we explore these issues. \nRegister: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5766718992748060940 \n\n\nPROGRAM OUTLINE \n8:50 to 9:00 Sign-In / Join us \n9:00 to 9:05 Welcome: Mary D.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Equitable Inclusion in Virtual Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nHow can community leaders continue to engage stakeholders and other members of the public in important local decisions when staying safe means staying home? The MSU National Charrette Institute and the Form-Based Codes Institute at Smart Growth America are partnering to deliver a series of webinars to provide local leaders\, developers and advocates with tools and examples for staying in touch\, sharing ideas\, and getting interactive feedback to keep critical decisions moving forward. Many of these techniques\, while essential in this time of separation\, have the potential to engage new\, hard-to-reach segments of the community\, and will be useful\, even beyond this current crisis.  \nOne of the greatest challenges in any community engagement effort is ensuring that all stakeholder groups have a voice. Virtual tools can exclude or discourage stakeholders who do not have the resources or knowledge to participate. But they can also provide access for individuals who often have been excluded or chose not to participate. In this FREE June 16 webinar\, a panel of experts will explore how virtual platforms and tools can\, along with other methods\, bring the voices and perspectives of all groups affected into the decision-making process.  \nMichigan State University is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs\, services and activities. Accommodations for persons with disabilities may be requested by contacting the event contact two weeks prior to the start of the event. Requests received after this date will be honored whenever possible.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Coronavirus Economic Shocks: A New Planning World?
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nThe “Great Contraction” has sent New Jersey into economic freefall. In just two months\, total employment in the state has fallen to the same level as 1985\, thirty-five years ago. In addition to deep short-term recession woes\, the shocks of the coronavirus are accelerating the pace of structural change and raising profound questions and uncertainties about the future. \nFor example\, the “office” is central to the economy of New Jersey. Will the magnitude of distress in office markets caused by the pandemic match the distress of bricks and mortar retailing caused by the rise of e-commerce? While the post-pandemic office has yet to be invented\, there will certainly be a rebalancing of office ecologies\, with significant planning implications. \nBuilding dense\, walkable\, transit-dependent\, mixed-use\, LWP (live\, work\, play) environments was a planning and development mantra of the past decade. Low-density\, automobile-centric suburbs were viewed as fading obsolete relics of the twentieth century\, while the “cool quotient” of urban areas soared. Can these pre-pandemic structures endure and adapt to post-pandemic health strictures? Will there be a pandemic-induced “resprawling” of New Jersey? \nThese are just some of the questions that the planning profession must confront. Join James W. Hughes and Joseph J. Seneca\, co-authors of the new Rutgers Regional Report monthly series labeled “Fast Track Research Notes.” Its first issue – Coronavirus Economic Shocks: New Jersey versus The Nation – was released on June 1. This webinar will be moderated by Charles Latini\, President of APA New Jersey. \nThis has been submitted for 1 AICP CM credit.

SUMMARY:Webinar: COVID-19 Effects on Real Estate Demand
DESCRIPTION:Presented by APA New Jersey\nPlease Note: Due to capacity\, this webinar is limited to APA Region 1 Members only. APA Membership ID is required at registration. \nRegister Now \nAs the Metro New York economy begins to reactivate through phased reopening\, uncertainty remains as to the lasting effects on real estate demand. At the root of this question is whether initial reports of households relocating to the suburbs are just a short-term blip or part of a continuing trend. Additional questions include the potential for rebound in the homeownership rate (and corresponding decrease in rentership)\, financial feasibility and optimal program mixes for apartment projects already in the development pipeline\, and the long term viability of retail and office uses. \nThis is the event you cannot afford to miss! Get your laptop and come into Jeffrey Otteau’s living room to hear his forecast for the near- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on real estate demand. Mr. Otteau is a 40-year valuation expert who has lectured across North America and is followed more than 10\,000 real estate professionals\, developers and bankers who rely on his forecasts to provide forward guidance on emerging real estate trends. He has been recognized as one of the most influential people in the real estate industry with television appearances on CNBC\, Bloomberg\, NBC News and Fox 5 News and frequently quoted in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. When Jeffrey Otteau talks\, it’s worth listening to what he has to say. Here’s a sampling of topics to be covered in this webinar:\nState of the Economy: What began with accelerating economic growth and rising consumer enthusiasm has quickly shifted to sheer panic as unemployment is already higher than during the Great Depression. Learn about the real-time effects on the economy to this point\, and what it tells us about the future. \nReal Estate Market Impacts: Although we are in uncharted waters\, it’s clear that the short-term impact on real estate markets has been crippling. This fast-paced roundup will examine what’s happening at the sector level for apartments\, commercial real estate and home sales as the economic shutdown choked off market demand and begins to recover. \nConsequences for Construction Spending: While the shutdown has already caused a slowdown for ongoing projects\, and new construction starts\, the long-term effects are even more concerning. Will activity bounce back quickly\, or will there be permanent consequences that carry forward to future years as developers and governments deal with financial constraints? Is an infrastructure spending bill on the horizon\, or will it remain stalled? Find out the forecast for spending in this essential economic sector. \nRecovery Timeline: How long will it take to find our way back? While declines in asset values and construction spending have already occurred\, the more difficult questions are for ‘How Long’ and by ‘How Much”. And while much uncertainty remains\, we’ll tell you about our projections for what happens next in the economy\, real estate markets and construction sector so you can adjust your planning models during this challenging time.
