Many communities are facing aging of their populations. How do communities ensure that all residents, regardless of age, ethnicity, income or physical ability are able to benefit from livability improvements? The leading edge of the Baby Boom generation began turning 65 years old in 2011. By 2030, the Census Bureau projects that over 72 million people and 19% of the population will be in that age group. However, as communities age along with their populations, many are not prepared to deal with the challenges that their residents will face. Experts on creating healthy, sustainable communities for older adults and people of all ages discuss the challenges facing communities and solutions that states and communities are using to address these challenges. Research and examples of successful efforts at the national, state and local levels are highlighted.

In June 2012, the Partnership issued a three-year anniversary report featuring case studies of six communities. The panelists discuss the environmental justice stories in three of those communities and how the Partnership is helping them achieve their goals for growth.

Communications as a Campaign: Better Planning to Achieve Real Results

Speakers: Jason Barron, Public Affairs Director, Office of Mayor Mark Mallory, Cincinnati, OH; Dani Simons, Principal, Sustainable Streets Marketing and Communications. Moderator: Elisa Ortiz, Deputy Director of Government Affairs and Outreach, Smart Growth America

(3.5 hour session) Good planning is NOT the most important part of creating successful sustainability projects. Excellent public communication is one of the most important tools you have in building long-lasting sustainability in your community and region (and in keeping your plan off the proverbial shelf). But if you're running around without any sort of communications strategy - or campaign plan - you're wasting your time. Listen as communications and campaign experts as well as local practitioners share their experiences in planning for, sometimes stumbling through, and ultimately succeeding in their communications efforts. Be guided through a basic campaign planning process and learn how to build the bones of your own strategic communications plan.

Still Starbucks-Free: Rural Main Streets—Small towns need vitality, too!

Speakers: Kathy Callies, Acting President, Rural Learning Center; Dennis (Denny) Ross, Mayor, City of Maupin, OR; JoAnne Bush, Mayor, City of Lake Village, AR; Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S.D.A.-Rural Development

Given the global economy's demand for greater economic efficiencies (fewer small farmers) and environmentally sound natural resource practices (less extraction), many rural communities are facing a dramatic shift in the economic opportunities available to them. Starbucks may not be coming any time soon, but rural leaders understand that creating great places to live and work is an essential ingredient to their economic future and have requested USDA funding for strategic, place-based investments. This session focuses on three case studies: a new meeting center in Howard, South Dakota, a revived market in Maupin, Oregon, and a historic renovation in Lake Village, Arkansas.

Is the Sky Falling? Transportation Debate

Speakers: Laura Cohen, Western Region Director, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; James Corless, Director, Transportation for America; Greg Cox, Supervisor, San Diego County, CA; Shireen Malekafzali, Senior Associate, Policylink

Transit and bike/pedestrian funding programs are at risk; equity and livable community policy incentives proposed by stakeholders may be swept aside. The current extension bill expires March 31 and the stakes have never been higher. This session will provide smart growth practitioners with an update on the status of the bill, how it will impact communities in short & long term, and what steps they can take to influence the bill or how it's implemented in their region. The focus will be on transit/walking/biking programs, and livable community performance measures.

Greening Rural Communities: Smart Growth, Sustainability & Small to Mid-sized Town Neighborhood Development in North Carolina

Speakers: Frank Wilson, Mayor, City of Bolton, NC; Terry Bellamy, Mayor, City of Ashville, NC. Moderator: Deeohn Ferris, President, Sustainable Community Development Group, Inc.

The challenges of transitioning to the new more energy-efficient economy and achieving smart growth and sustainable development take on different dimensions in rural and small municipalities due to smaller economies. Transitioning to a green economy is complicated by the challenges of attracting and retaining employers, the tax base, and the scale of rural unemployment. Mayors are the front-line policy decision-makers at the local level who are responsible for ensuring that all citizens benefit from the tools and resources of the emerging green economy while addressing key issues that principally affect distressed neighborhoods. In this session, rural and small to mid-sized town mayors discuss ways that their development strategies have addressed equity issues in North Carolina communities. The audience is encouraged to share rural and small to mid-sized town initiatives that have worked in other states, challenges, best practices and lessons learned.

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.

Equity as the New Model for Growth: How Three Regions are Innovating

Speakers: Ramon Leon, Executive Director, Latino Economic Development Corporation; Allen Fernandez Smith, President & CEO, Urban Habitat; Pamela Hurtt, Senior Consultant, New Economy Initiative for Southeast Michigan

Tomorrow’s successful regions will be those that adopt equity-driven growth strategies, creating greater opportunities for residents left behind after the past few decades of unequal growth. Doing so means squarely addressing race: in many metros, the majority of residents are people of color, yet Latinos, African Americans, Native Americans and other racial/ethnic groups continue to face stark barriers to economic participation and success. A handful of regions are taking bold steps to integrate equity into their economic development pursuits. This session highlights three of them: Detroit’s New Economy Initiative, which is implanting inclusion strategies into its small business accelerators focused on high-tech companies, anchor institutions, and neighborhood-serving businesses; the Twin Cities’ “Everybody In” effort to reduce the region’s high racial disparities in employment; and the Bay Area’s sustainable communities strategy to connect the region’s low-income communities and communities of color to its high-growth industries.

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.
