New Strategies for Equitable Smart Growth: The Promise of Place-Based “Green Zones”

Speakers: Charlie Sciammas, Community Organizer, People Organizing to Demand Environmental and Economic Rights; Anita Maltbia, Executive Director, Green Impact Zone, Kansas City, MO; Carolina Martinez, Policy Advocate, Environmental Health Coalition; Penny Newman, Executive Director, Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice. Moderator: Sarah Russell, Brownfields Project Manager, U.S. EPA, Region 9.

How can smart growth braid together economic development and equity with a strong foundation in land-use planning into one cohesive movement? We explore this question from the bottom-up: from the perspective of organizations that are combining sustainable land-use planning and smart-growth principles with economic development, all within the framework of equity. The panel lookS at four place-based initiatives that are transitioning areas of high poverty, pollution and poor land-use planning into thriving communities with sustainable housing, transit and economic development. The models are examples of how communities across the country are using place-based models to address persistent issues of poor land-use planning, environmental burdens and lack of economic opportunity. The panelists will discuss how diverse groups can work together to achieve neighborhood-level change on issues of economic development, equity, and sustainable planning.

Success with Schools: New Tools for Your Community

Speakers: Candi Beaudry, AICP, Director, City of Billings, MT; Sharon Thomas, Mayor Pro Tem, City of Las Cruces, NM; Leslie Meehan, AICP, Director of Healthy Communities, Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. Moderator: Renee Kuhlman, Director of Special Projects-Government Relations and Policy, National Trust for Historic Preservation

Where to locate schools is a complex and often contentious question. Three communities are working to ensure that the health and sustainability of their community are part of the decision-making process. With help from EPA, Billings, Montana is developing a new cost calculator (with transportation, health, and environmental considerations) and conducting a thorough policy audit. Las Cruces, New Mexico has set up a joint city-county school district working group and will share how they are planning concurrently for the future. In Nashville, Tennessee, a new mixed-use development with a commuter train station is being built and planners have used a health impact assessment to help the community make a fair and equitable decision about the location of a new school facility. Attendees also share their own challenges so panelists can describe how the new tools can be used or modified in different situations.

Exploring, Documenting, and Assessing Kansas City’s Diverse "Missing Middle" Housing Types

Speakers: Lynda Callon, Director, Kansas City Westside CAN Center; Kevin Klinkenberg, Senior Planner, Olsson Associates; Jed Moulton, Urban Design Manager, City of Omaha, NE. Moderator: Daniel Parolek, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

(3.5 hour session) The mismatch between the current housing stock in the U.S. and the large demographic shift, combined with the growing market demand for walkable urban living, has been poignantly defined by recent research. Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, mansion apartments, and live-work units are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of the arsenal of every architect, planner and developer. Missing Middle housing are simple, well-designed housing types that achieve medium density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. Listen to a diverse group of panelists that represent designers, planners and community representatives about how to apply this concept to your communities.
