What Americans Want

This panel brings together several surveys exploring American's preference for smart growth communities. Joe Molinaro from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) provides an overview of findings from NAR's 2011 national preference survey. Shyam Kannan from RCLCo explores the details of the NAR survey using segmentation analysis focusing on Americans' preferences for transit oriented developments and walkable communities. Gail Meakins from the University of Utah reports on findings from the nation's largest survey of Americans' attitudes toward smart growth communities conducted by Porter-Novelli with special reference to walking and biking to work and for errands, and transit accessibility. Arthur C. Nelson, also from the University of Utah, reviews three sub-national surveys on preference for TODs and transit accessibility including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and western Texas, and synthesize all surveys for their smart growth implications. Special attention is given to under-served markets and equity.

Featuring case studies from Vermont and Iowa, speakers describe their efforts to convene multidisciplinary partnerships and share success stories that are replicable for other communities, as well as lessons learned. Discussion topics will include form-based codes, downtown revitalization, brownfields redevelopment, local food systems, complete streets, historic preservation, and more.

From Temporary to Sustainable Paradise: "Smart Growth Catalysts" and The Battle for Planning in the San Diego/Tijuana Region

Speakers: Dahvia Lynch, AICP, Project Manager, Department of General Services, San Diego County; Bruce Appleyard, PhD, Associate Research Professor, University of Utah; Michael Stepner FAIA, FAICP, New School of Architecture and Design; Carlos Graizbord, Former Director of IMPlan, Professor of Urban Planning, Universidad Iberoamericana; Brian Mooney, AICP, Principal, Mooney Planning Collaborative

The panel explores the Roles NGO's can play as "Smart Growth Catalysts" in assisting local government in developing public policy for long range planning. As a framework, the panel will build upon the historic 1974 bi-national urban design plan for the San Diego/Tijuana Region, "Temporary Paradise?" by Kevin Lynch and Donald Appleyard, father of Dr. Bruce Appleyard. The C-3 plan goes beyond traditional planning programs that are limited by jurisdiction and integrates both sides of the US/Mexican Border to address sustainability issues for the environment, economics, land use, social equity, and life systems. The ultimate goal is to assist the region in the implementation of plans and programs that not only preserve and enhance the unique San Diego/Tijuana environment but build on its multi-cultural and education assets.

Public-Private Partnership to Finance and Promote Equitable TOD

Speakers: Brian Prater, Managing Director, Western Region, Low Income Investment Fund; Doug Johnson, Senior Transportation Planner, Metropolitan Transportation Commission; Lindy Hahn, Global Sustainable Finance, Morgan Stanley

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an important component of sustainable development. Without proactive public policy and innovative financing mechanisms, the development of new public transportation infrastructures can have a negative effect upon low-income households, by driving up land and real estate values. One of the primary financing mechanisms for the creation or preservation of affordable housing near transit has been acquisition loan funds for TOD. These pioneering funds allow borrowers to hold land for five or more years, layer capital to lower interest rates from standard acquisition loans, and create an environment in which both borrowers and the lenders take new or non traditional risk in order to ensure that low-income households can benefit from combined access to reliable public transportation and affordable housing. This session highlights such a fund, The Bay Area Transit Oriented Affordable Housing Fund, and focuses on collaboration and the elements (program, policy and innovative financing tools) that need to exist to advance equitable TOD.
