A New Heart for Houston

Speakers: Robert D. Yaro, Executive Director, Regional Plan Association; Jane Thompson, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Patap Talwar, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Anne Olson, Director, Buffalo Bayou Partnership; Harry L. Dodson, Principal, Dodson Associates

Realizing the need to improve the city's quality of life, Houston's leaders decided to restore the polluted and neglected river running through the center of the city. The Buffalo Bayou Partnership, a non-profit advocacy group, was formed to implement the river restoration project. The Partnership led a wide range of citizens, advocacy groups and neighborhood representatives to develop a plan for the river's revival and its incorporation with the surrounding urban fabric. As a result, a new regional park—one of the largest landscape reclamation projects in the country—is being created as the new heart of America's 4th largest city.

Using Health As a Messaging Tool

Speakers: Judy Corbett, Executive Director, Local Government Commission; Richard J. Jackson, MD MPH, Professor/Chair, Environmental Health Sciences; Professor, Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Urban Planning, UCLA

The health message can be particularly potent as a messaging tool for supporting everything from Smart Growth measures to state legislation related to Global Warming. The Lung Association is widely credited for stopping the passage of an initiative to repeal California's global warming law. The California's Medical Association encourages their physician-members to advocate for Smart Growth and it is beginning to bear fruit. This session, led by Dr. Richard Jackson, highlights the messages that have worked and explores how the medical profession might go even further to encourage land use changes that create healthy communities.
