Just How Smart is Our Growth? Getting Ready for a Maturing America

Speakers: Rebecca Hunter, MEd, Institute on Aging and CDC-Healthy Aging Research Network, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Chris Kochtitzky, MSP, Associate Director for Program Development, Division of Emergency and Environmental Health Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention; Mary A. Leary, PhD, Senior Director, Easter Seals Project ACTION, National Center on Senior Transportation & Other Transportation Initiatives; Joan M. Twiss, MA, Executive Director, Center for Civic Partnerships

The startling new n4a report, The Maturing of America, concludes that many communities are unprepared for their quickly aging populations, with 'no where near the level of progress that has to be made to ensure that communities are livable for people of all ages'. This session provides practical, evidence-based strategies for integrated planning and implementation consistent with Smart Growth, but also specifically responsive to an aging population diverse in ethnicity, resources, health and functional status.

Tax Foreclosure Reform: A New Approach for Stronger Neighborhoods

Speakers: Kendall Pelling, Project Manager, East Liberty Development, Inc.; Honorable Christopher Ross, Representative, Pennsylvania House of Representatives; Daniel Kildee, President / CEO, Center for Community Progress

Tax delinquent and vacant properties can be a tremendous asset when they are restored back to productive use—reinvigorating downtowns, housing new businesses, creating new housing opportunities in existing neighborhoods, and raising quality of life through parks and other green uses. This session will explore the issues at play in the tax foreclosure system and review how two states have reformed, or are seeking to reform, the laws that balance the need for efficient tax collection with the long-term interests of the communities they impact.

University Forum: Shakespeare’s “Othello”

Speakers: Stanley J. Coen, Robert Brustein, Michael Wood, Paul Schwaber

Robert Brustein, Professor Emeritus of English at Harvard; Founder of the Yale Repertory and American Repertory Theatres, playwright, author (“The Tainted Muse: Prejudice and Presumption in Shakespeare and His Time”), and recipient of the National Medal of Arts, talks about: how easily the forces of good can be overwhelmed by the forces of evil, Iago as a new kind of image in literature, and the embodiment of a world without a vigilant God. Michael Wood, Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, at Princeton, author (“Shakespeare”), critic (New York and London Reviews of Books), will talk about how language works in “Othello” as a means of seduction and almost becomes a character in its own right.
