Land Use Planning for Coastal Communities

Speakers: Flo Meadows, Realtor, Coldwell Banker; Camille Manning-Broome, Director of Planning, Center for Planning Excellence. Moderator: Janet Tharp, Principal, Tharp Planning Group.

Combined risks of erosion, subsidence and sea level rise are making coastal living much more challenging. How can we assist citizens, officials and developers in making critical (re)development decisions with living in risky places? Using chips depicting flood reduction features and building types, groups of participants will map complete communities in an environment that has constraints such as a 100-year floodplain, forested areas, water bodies, and agricultural land. Hear participants discuss the development choices they made and their consequences on the natural environment and the communities.

Morning Plenary — Why Leave it to the Liberals?

Speakers: Michael Lewyn, Associate Professor, Tuoro Law Center; James Bacon, Author/Founder, “Bacon’s Rebellion”. Moderator: Geoff Anderson, President and CEO, Smart Growth America.

(90 minute session) There is nothing intrinsically liberal or conservative about the idea of creating more efficient places for people to live. Compact development, livable communities and sustainable economies are nonpartisan values. So-called liberals embrace these and other values associated with the smart growth movement – such as transit-oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use and mixed-use development. The challenge now is for supporters to frame the discussion in a way that will engage more conservative thinkers. We often hear that conservatives believe land-use development and economic growth should be propelled from the bottom up by entrepreneurs and consumers in a free market – not imposed by government regulation. In this plenary, we’ll take a look at both viewpoints and see where we can find common ground.

Good Food for All: The Role of Equity in Strengthening Communities

Speakers: Ricardo Salvador, Senior Scientist and Director of the Food and Environment Program, Union of Concerned Scientists; Haile Johnston, Director, Common Market Philadelphia; Malik Kenyetta Yakini, Executive Director, Detroit Black Community Food and Security Network; Kolu Zigbi, Program Director, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems. Moderator: Linda Jo Doctor, Program Officer, W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

(2 hour session) A “good food” system is rooted in strengthening communities. Using innovative approaches to community engagement, infrastructure change, and policy making, local leaders are placing equity at the heart of their work to transform food systems and build stronger communities. This session features representatives from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Food & Community program discussing how they’re creating vibrant communities by ensuring the “good food” movement addresses racial and economic inequities. Topics include Common Market’s new model for connecting local food to institutional customers in Philadelphia, the Detroit Black Community Food and Security Network’s approach to engaging communities of color in transforming their food environments, and the Union of Concerned Scientists’ approach to engaging often-excluded communities in national policymaking.
