How Municipalities Can Avoid the 20 Most Common Place-Making Mistakes

Speakers: Chad Emerson, Director of Development, City of Montgomery, AL; Eliza Harris, Urban Planner, Canin & Associates; Amanda Thompson, Planning Director, City of Decatur, GA. Moderator: Nathan Norris, CEO, Downtown Development Authority, Lafayette, LA

In this “get real” session, you learn about the 20 most common placemaking mistakes that municipalities make, as well as the 10 most effective placemaking tools you should be using. The motivation for this session stems from the fact that many municipalities continue to make the same mistakes over and over — all the while hoping for a better result. Oftentimes, their major problem isn’t the execution of a specific tactic or tool, but the incorrect diagnosis of their challenges from the outset. This session arms you with the techniques and strategies you need to effectively advocate for meaningful improvements to your community.

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.

Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Symposium: Trauma, Dream and Psychic Change in Psychoanalyses

Speakers: Co-chairs: Charles P. Fisher, M.D. (San Francisco) Richard J. Kessler, D.O. (Long Island City, NY) Presenters: Tamara Fischmann, Ph.D. (Frankfurt, Germany) Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber, Ph.D. (Frankfurt, Germany)

To psychoanalysts as well as neuroscientists the neurological base of psychic functioning, particularly concerning the topic of trauma and dreaming is of special interest. In the first part of this paper neurobiological changes occurring in the course of two years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a severely traumatized, chronic depressed patient are traced by a recognition experiment of memories of dreams related to an underlying conflict and depicted in fMRI. In the second part a dream series of the same patient elicited partially in psychoanalytic treatment and partially in a sleep laboratory are traced for changes in a clinical and experimental psychoanalytic manner. The results of both fields of research are discussed.

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.

Intercity Passenger Rail in America: Creating Regional Centers

Speakers: Wayne Aldrich, Development Director, Town of Normal, IL; Brian Harner, Architect, Union Station Redevelopment Corporation; Wilma Quan, Urban Planning Specialist, City of Fresno, CA

As the nation considers building new high-speed rail connections and strengthening existing intercity passenger rail networks, communities large and small are thinking about leveraging rail assets in new ways. Many metropolitan areas have plans to revitalize historic stations into multimodal and economic centers, while smaller communities reassess how to leverage intercity rail stations into a regional economic development strategy. This session will address such questions as: How can stations catalyze TOD-like development patterns and help curb sprawl? How can high-speed rail stations become regional growth centers? How can good station area planning concentrate jobs and growth? Speakers offer case studies from a metropolitan area focusing on economic development and multimodal connectivity at Washington, DC, Union Station; planning for a new High Speed Rail station in Fresno, CA, to refocus economic growth and jobs downtown; and revitalization of a small-town Main Street centered on rehabilitation of an historic train depot.

Moderator: Adrian Martinez, Staff Attorney, Natural Resource Defense Council.

Los Angeles is now undertaking one of the largest transit expansion projects in the U.S. To prevent the displacement of low-income families and respond to the gentrification pressures in East and South Los Angeles, a variety of community organizations are building coalitions to ensure that equitable strategies are applied in transit-oriented developments (TODs). In this session, non-profit organizations share how they use social and economic justice coalesce alliances, while promoting smart growth strategies for creating equitable TODs. Learn how community residents are mobilized and engaged in campaigns to preserve and develop affordable housing, promote living wage jobs, retain small businesses and medical services, and secure other community benefits in low-income communities of color. Panelists provide examples of community development efforts, affordable housing development, healthcare initiatives, and recent organizing and advocacy campaigns. This session includes a popular activity on how to educate community residents on transit-oriented development.
