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.

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.
