Advancing Equity through Planning: Challenges & Opportunities

Across the country, communities and regions are finding that inclusive, equitable planning processes empower them to address the economic, environmental, health, and other challenges they face. However, integrating social equity, affordability, economic and workforce development, and environmental justice into local and regional planning is not always straightforward. This half-day session draws on the experiences of HUD’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning and Community Challenge grantees to shed light on the barriers and opportunities related to fair and equitable planning. Structured as a working session, the half-day event highlights and builds on the ongoing efforts of 2010 and 2011 grantee teams. Participants – practitioners from the equitable development, environmental justice, smart growth, and planning fields – take part in dialogues with the grantees about how to apply lessons learned more broadly. The event concludes with reflections by federal and philanthropic leaders on how local, regional, state, tribal, federal, and foundation stakeholders can work together to advance inclusive planning and growth.

Back to Planning School: What You Need to Know for Successful and Collaborative School Siting

Speakers: Fred Yeager, Assistant Director, California Department of Education, School Facilities Planning Division; Jeff Vincent, PhD, Deputy Director, Center for Cities and Schools, University of California, Berkeley; Cynthia Bryant, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs, California Charter Schools Association; Chris Grimes, Director of Facilities Development, Roseville Joint Union High School District

Strategically locating new schools and revitalizing existing schools with consideration of other public services is an important part of achieving regional environmental goals, increasing service levels to students and the community, and leveraging funding opportunities. Yet, the relationship between school districts, land developers, and cities or counties can be tense, particularly where there is little or no coordination during planning processes. This workshop highlights the guiding principles and standards for locating schools and how these standards can support many of the common goals shared by school districts and local governments.

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.
