This session will explore their impact on suburban development and mixed legacy over the last 8 decades. It will cover Levittown's history (including several riots), its positive and negative planning legacies, and its role as both a model for suburbia and a cautionary tale about car dependency, discrimination and racial intolerance.
This panel presentation will discuss resiliency issues facing planners, tools available to planners, and how specific jurisdictions (Maryland, California, Maine, and Boston) are using those tools to tackle these issues.
You may know a little about how local governments raise and spend money, but do you realize how closely aligned it is to planning work? This session will cover the basics of local public finance and explain why it matters to planners.
