Mixed Use: Perception and Reality

Speakers: Amber Hawkes, AICP, Urban Designer, Melendrez; Martin Leitner, AIA, Senior Designer, Urban Studio; Allan Kotin, Principal, Allan D. Kotin & Associates; Georgia Sheridan, AICP, Urban Designer, Torti Gallas and Partners

Proposed as a cure-all, mixed-use is called forth to reduce traffic, improve walkability, boost economic development, and generate often intangible levels of urban 'livability.' This panel looks at when, where and how mixed-use development does and doesn't work from an architectural, urban design, planning, and economic perspective. Through an inter-disciplinary discussion, the panelists answer the following questions: Where does mixed-use work best? Why doesn't it work everywhere? Does mixed-use guarantee an active urban environment? When are the costs and challenges for mixed-use development worth it?

Advancing Equity through Planning: Challenges & Opportunities

Across the country, communities and regions are finding that inclusive, equitable planning processes empower them to address the economic, environmental, health, and other challenges they face. However, integrating social equity, affordability, economic and workforce development, and environmental justice into local and regional planning is not always straightforward. This half-day session draws on the experiences of HUD’s Sustainable Communities Regional Planning and Community Challenge grantees to shed light on the barriers and opportunities related to fair and equitable planning. Structured as a working session, the half-day event highlights and builds on the ongoing efforts of 2010 and 2011 grantee teams. Participants – practitioners from the equitable development, environmental justice, smart growth, and planning fields – take part in dialogues with the grantees about how to apply lessons learned more broadly. The event concludes with reflections by federal and philanthropic leaders on how local, regional, state, tribal, federal, and foundation stakeholders can work together to advance inclusive planning and growth.

Exploring, Documenting, and Assessing Kansas City’s Diverse "Missing Middle" Housing Types

Speakers: Lynda Callon, Director, Kansas City Westside CAN Center; Kevin Klinkenberg, Senior Planner, Olsson Associates; Jed Moulton, Urban Design Manager, City of Omaha, NE. Moderator: Daniel Parolek, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

(3.5 hour session) The mismatch between the current housing stock in the U.S. and the large demographic shift, combined with the growing market demand for walkable urban living, has been poignantly defined by recent research. Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, mansion apartments, and live-work units are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of the arsenal of every architect, planner and developer. Missing Middle housing are simple, well-designed housing types that achieve medium density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. Listen to a diverse group of panelists that represent designers, planners and community representatives about how to apply this concept to your communities.
