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.

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.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Solutions for Walkability Challenges
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n  \nAs Philadelphia continues its renaissance into a 24-hour city and its surrounding suburbs become more urbanized\, working with developers to add pedestrian amenities to new construction (while filling in the missing pieces of existing pedestrian infrastructure) is the new norm. How are planners and municipal staff succeeding in filling in these gaps? And how can good design make walking easier for all of us?

SUMMARY:(Webinar) Why Walking Matters
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n  \nWalking is something that nearly everyone does daily. Not only is it our most reliable form of transportation\, it’s good for our collective health\, has little impact on the environment\, and is practically free. It makes sense that as a region we’d do all we could to make it as easy as possible to get people out and about—from our youngest (and most vulnerable) pedestrians to our seniors (who may not always feel as steady on their feet). You may know why walking matters\, but convincing others can be a challenge. Tune in for useful strategies and to see how some planners are doing their part to promote walkability (and healthy decision making).

SUMMARY:Webinar: Modernizing Transportation Agencies
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n  \nTransportation needs always exceed funding. At the same time\, transportation projects are expected to do more than ever — move cars\, trucks\, transit\, bikes and pedestrians safely and efficiently. Transportation for America works with transportation agencies to find ways to make money go farther and to identify ways to make better move all users of the system safely. This technical assistance includes training on coordinating transportation and land use\, practical design and the needs of all users. Then Transportation for America analyzed the transportation agency’s project development process to identify where rules\, procedures and culture might interfere with the delivery of cost-effective\, multimodal projects.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Forging Neighborhoods for all Generations
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nA powerful new reality and a profound demographic transformation is an aging America. That baby boomers are swelling the ranks of older Americans is well-documented. This profound demographic transition is challenging communities struggling to maintain the status quo\, and\, is overwhelming to government and community policymakers at all levels. Preparing for this wave is viewed as a political and economic liability – impacting social security\, healthcare costs and services..and placing an added burden on the young. As the vast majority of older adults want to age in place\, they are creating a demand for communities that are age friendly. Age-friendly communities are friendly to all ages\, not just older adults. Ultimately\, young and old want the same things: an environment that allows them to participate and thrive. Financing age-friendly initiatives do not have to be costly. Planners and local governments should give attention to multigenerational planning and the work underway in cities developing more age-friendly communities – from New York to Honolulu – who are taking creative steps to build their adaptive capacity\, optimize opportunities and cultivate synergies for community change.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Utilizing public-private partnerships for local and region innovation
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nWe live in aworld with much uncertainty about federal level transportation legislation andsufficient funding to maintain existing infrastructure in our communities. With this level of uncertainty about policy and funding\, it can be difficult at the local level to think about projects like bike share\, which can take years to plan and large capital investments to fund. However\, data and research indicatethat millennials and boomers want livable communities where they can live\,work\, and play without having to get into a car. Mobility preferences andtrends are expanding beyond a single occupancy vehicle and cities and townsthat explore and provide safe multimodal transportation options are thriving. Albuquerque’sdowntown pilot bike share\, BICI (ashortened version of bicicleta\, the Spanish word for bicycle and pronounced“bee-see”) launched on May 15\, 2015\, with 15 stations and 75 bicycles amere seven months after local planners started working on the project. Througha creative partnership between the DowntownABQ MainStreet Initiative and the Mid-Region Council of Governments\, and through public-private funding\, Albuquerque was able to realize the first phase of BICI for residents andvisitors. Participants will learn how Albuquerque made BICI a reality without initialmajor capital investments and how the program will continue and grow.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) The New “Cottage” Industry: Housing\, Lodging\, and the Sharing Economy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nThe new Sharing Economy has enabled the availability of private short-term rental properties like never before. Web-based clearinghouses for short-term rentals\, such as VRBO and AirBnB\, have changed the economic and regulatory landscape of short-term rental markets. These changes are felt in municipalities of all sizes. While some communities experience strains on the availability of long-term rental housing\, others value the short-terms rentals as a supplement to traditional lodging options. This session will explore the relationship of the short-term rental sector of the sharing economy to land use and tax regulation and social and economic factors in resort and destination communities. Sponsored by the Small Town and Rural Planning Division.

SUMMARY:New (Webinar) Data Tools for Supporting Analysis of Equitable Development and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nUnderstanding the challenges andopportunities communities face—economic\, social\, and environmental—is a prerequisite for making investments that achieve their goals. To respond to this need\, environmental justice stakeholders have begun developing analytical tools that can give communities rich and accessible information for supporting local goals for environmental protection and equitable development in cities and regions. This webinar will cover two of these tools – EPA’s EJSCREEN\, an environmental justice screening and mapping tool\, and the National Equity Atlas a comprehensive data resource to track\, measure\, and make the case for inclusive growth developed by PolicyLink and the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity. The presentations will explain what these tools are\, how they have been used in real world scenarios to advance equity in local and regional development practices\, followed by questions and answers.

SUMMARY:(Webinar) The Central Social District - the Key to Tomorrow's Successful Downtowns
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nFor decades\, the terms Central Business District\, CBD and downtown were used almost interchangeably because\, functionally\, downtowns were dominated by retail stores\, office based businesses\, professionals and government agencies\, along with some hotels and maybe entertainment venues. Today\, in downtowns large and small\, the CBD functions are being rivaled or even surpassed by their Central Social District (CSD) functions. That includes housing\, restaurants and watering holes\, and vibrant entertainment niches that include not only venues for formal entertainments such cinemas\, theaters\, museums and concert halls\, but also lively parks\, plazas\, and other gathering areas. Your downtown’s competitive advantage is therefore changing in important ways. Looking beyond the draw of speciality retail and entertainment\, innovative downtown leaders and community planners are seizing on the opportunity to re-brand and fully embrace the downtown as the “heart of the community” where people come to gather\, celebrate\, meet friends\, and make new ones.  Art venues\, libraries\, and a myriad of informal entertainment venues are seen as increasingly important components of downtown revitalization because they improve quality of life and create more vibrant experiences for downtown visitors. But how do they fit into the overall fabric of a downtown\, both economically and physically? What other downtown assets can be leveraged and tied into these types of interventions? This webinar will explain how the concept of the central social distric (CSD)t can be used as a planning tool to integrate new approaches into downtown in a smart\, strategic way. Presenters will discuss downtown business niches  and how they can be grown using the CSD concept. Case studies from two communities will illustrate how the CSD concept supports (and in fact drives) downtown economic development. Participants will also learn about innovative ways to help fund this next wave of downtown investment.
