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.

The NYC Waterfront Justice Project: Making Industrial Waterfronts Community Resilient/Climate Adaptable

Speakers: Elizabeth Yeampierre, Esq., Executive Director, UPROSE; Juan Camilo Osorio, Policy Analyst, New York Environmental Justice Alliance. Moderator: Eddie Bautista, Executive Director, New York Environmental Justice Alliance

Climate change is creating new challenges for businesses and residents in industrial waterfront communities. Climate change impacts may increase the risk of exposures to hazardous substances in areas vulnerable to sea level rise, storm surge and flooding. The work of the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance, a coalition of community-based organizations in low-income communities of color, shows how affected communities are leading the call to integrate climate adaptation planning and pollution prevention into planning and development in industrial waterfront communities. Industrial businesses located in vulnerable coastal areas will require innovative risk reduction and redevelopment strategies. Community-led, multi-stakeholder coalitions play a key role in developing new strategies to integrate climate change adaptation, industrial waterfront planning, and brownfields redevelopment. Financial and technical resources are required to help reduce risk, while protecting local industrial jobs and building a green economy.
