Smart Growth Toolbox Training Session

Speakers: Maren Outwater, Senior Director, Resource Systems Group; Fred Bowers, Community Planner, Federal Highway Administration; Gordon Garry, Director of Research and Analysis, Sacramento Area Council of Governments; Jo Allen Gause, Senior Program Officer, National Academy of Science; Robert Cervero, Professor of City and Regional Planning, University of California Berkeley; Jeremy Raw, Community Planner, Federal Highway Administration; Guy Rousseau, Modeling Manager, Atlanta Regional Commission; Colin Smith, Senior Consultant, Resource Systems Group. Moderator: John Thomas, Director of Community Assistance and Research, Office of Sustainable Communities, U.S. EPA

(3.5 hour session) The impact of various smart growth strategies on the transportation system and the dynamics of how these strategies may influence other strategies are not easily understood. Current tools to address this need are either quite detailed and complex (parcel-level, integrated land use and travel models) or quite simple (application of elasticities for specific strategies). The Smart Growth Area Planning (SmartGAP) is a strategic planning tool that simulates individual travel behavior in response to smart growth strategies at a regional scale. The session is conducted in two parts: an overview of scenario planning and presentations on smart growth area planning tools and resources, and three breakout groups to discuss case studies for Atlanta, Maryland and Olympia. Learn how to develop the data needed by the tools, how to develop smart growth strategies for testing, and how to interpret the results for planning purposes.

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.

Rural Sustainability: Design and Strategic Considerations

Speakers: Alexandria Murnan, Graduate Student, University North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Hannah Twaddell, President, Hannah Twaddell Associates, LLC. Moderator: Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S. Department of Agriculture

(2 hour session) Massive outmigration and major industry shifts have left many small towns across the country with challenging impacts of changes in population and local economies. Others are feeling the pressure of new development dynamics. Innovative local leaders are developing strategies creating economically dynamic places where people want to live. How will placemaking, smart growth, regional planning and innovative economic development contribute to revitalizing small towns? Based on current case study research conducted by the panelists, the details of the strategies as well as the designs that form the basis of rural smart growth will be presented and discussed. Examples of successful design and project management approaches are presented. The diversity in the types of rural communities makes “rural” strategies difficult to pin down. The panelists present portfolio-style examples of rural smart growth in a variety of settings, and will lead a discussion of key elements of rural sustainability.
