Crowd-sourced Urbanism: No One Knows as Much as Everyone

Speakers: Jase Wilson, CEO, Neighbor.ly; Zach Flanders, AICP, Urban Planner, BNIM

Technology is enabling a radical democratization in the planning and development of cities. Social media and crowd-sourcing tools are revealing a preference for smart growth principles and vibrant urban districts, and they are giving citizens the power to transform urban spaces to fit their preferences. During this session, participants learn how to use social media technologies and crowdsourcing to build movements for urban change and raise funds for implementation. Real-world examples include crowd-funding for the Kansas City Streetcar, Better Block KC (a crowd-sourced temporary transformation of Grand Boulevard), and KCMomentum, a tool for Kansas Citians to improve their city. Whether you represent the public sector, a private business or an invested citizen, this session gives you the tools to engage the crowd and build something great!

Born in a Small Town: Transportation Success Stories from Rural America

Speakers: Sarah Kline, Policy Director, Reconnecting America; Terry Supahan, President, Supuhan Consulting Group; Lisa Ballard, PE, President, Current Transportation Solutions. Moderator: Roger Millar, PE, AICP, Vice President, Smart Growth America

When you hear the words “public transportation,” what image comes to mind? For many Americans, the words conjure up pictures of crowded subway cars and diesel buses crawling through traffic – in short, scenes of urban mass transit. Small city and rural America has public transportation needs that are just as compelling as those in big cities. Aging populations, young people, disabled citizens, working families and other people who want transportation choices are working together as never before to make public transportation happen. Federal and state government resources have become available for small-town and rural transit, and communities are leveraging this investment to great success. Panelists discuss small city and rural transit success stories from around the country, with an emphasis on why and how success happened so that the lessons learned can be applied in other communities.
