Comprehensive Planning in the 21st Century: Planning For Health & Sustainability

Speakers: Beth Altshuler, Urban Planning and Health Specialist, Raimi + Associates; Carlos Gallinar, Deputy Director for City Development and Planning, City of El Paso, TX; Michael Kelly, Senior Program Officer, Paso del Norte Health Foundation. Moderator: Anna Ricklin, Manager, American Planning Association.

(2 hour session) Active transportation, food access, social cohesion… These buzz words represent important issues for community health, but how do they become part of a real place? One of the most critical places to start is comprehensive planning. This session describes the role of the comprehensive plan and ways to integrate health at this level. National trends for including health in planning is covered through an overview of how well comprehensive plans currently address health across the country. A local example will come from El Paso, TX, one of the first major cities in the U.S. to include a stand-alone health element in its plan. Using Plan El Paso as a model, participants will learn about opportunities to advance community discussion and policies that link the built environment to physical and mental wellbeing.

Speakers: Chair: Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President (San Francisco, CA) Presenter: Mark Solms, Ph.D. (Cape Town, South Africa)

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.
