Land Banking: Pathways Toward Sustainable Urban, Suburban and Rural Land Reclamation

Speakers: Christopher Norman, Executive Director, Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority; Julie Porter, Executive Director, Greater Kansas City LISC; Sly James, Mayor, Kansas City, MO. Moderator: Kim Graziani, Vice President of Capacity Building, Center for Community Progress

Using recent land-banking breakthroughs in Kansas City, Missouri, and the state of Georgia as a backdrop, this session delves into land banking as an effective strategy for urban, suburban and rural land preservation and reclamation. These case studies offer a range of strategies that were spearheaded and enacted by a diverse set of stakeholders, including county commissioners, mayors and nonprofit community development practitioners. The experts leading this session have been intimately involved in these efforts and look forward to discussing the current best practices of land banking in the country, including how the laws are successful in communities of all sizes and how land banks can enable disinvested communities to think strategically as they put properties back to productive re-use.

Designing Healthy Environments Across Communities and Generations

Speakers: Leslie Meehan, AICP, Director of Healthy Communities Design Initiative, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Angela Russell, MS, Community Engagement Lead, University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute; Erika Svendsen, PhD, Research Social Scientist, U.S Forest Service, Northern Research Station; Maria Valenti, National Coordinator, Collaborative on Health and the Environment; Arthur Wendel, MD, MPH, CDR USPHS, Healthy Community Design Initiative; Team Lead, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Where and how we live, eat, work, play and socialize profoundly influence our health across the life span. It’s hard to lead a healthy life if you don’t live in a healthy community. The health of communities depends on many factors – including the built and natural environments, access to healthy food, environmental hazards, individual health behaviors, education and jobs, income, family and community support and access to and quality of health care. Within this context, we cannot view health as an individual concern or in a single moment or stage of life. We need to understand and address health as a whole system with interacting factors in constant feedback loops. The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program brings community leaders and residents together to improve health. This session combines ecological health approaches with information from the Roadmaps program to discuss strategies, actions and partnerships to improve individual and community health.
