Revitalization, Gentrification, and Equitable Development: Evaluating a Decade of EPA's Programs

Speakers: Mary Nelson, Founding President, Bethel New Life; Deeohn Ferris, JD, President, Sustainable Community Development Group; Ted Howard, Evergreen Coalition; Charlie Bartsch, Senior Advisor to the Assistant Administrator for Economic Development, Office of Brownfields and Land Revitalization, U.S. EPA; Vernice Miller-Travis, Senior Associate, Skeo Solutions

Gentrification is often defined as the transformation of neighborhoods from low value to high value. This change has the potential to cause displacement of long-time residents and businesses because of higher rents, mortgages, and property taxes. This interactive session provides an overview of EPA's efforts to promote equitable development, engages the audience, and facilitates a candid discussion about the challenges and proposed solutions at the local level for advancing truly equitable development.

Essential Components of the 21st Century Community: Housing for the "Missing Middle"

Speakers: Lina Velasco, Senior Planner, City of Richmond, CA; Lisa Wise, Principal, Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. Moderator: Stefan Pellegrini, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

This session examines and debates the potential for medium-density housing as an essential future component of our livable communities. Several indicators have increased recent interest in higher-density housing, including changing demographics, decreasing housing affordability, and increasing efforts to conserve energy through more compact development patterns. At the same time, higher-density housing has been challenged by high development and entitlement costs, limited market share, and incessant NIMBYism. Well-designed, medium-density housing, however, suggests that there is a high potential for cost effective, appropriately-scaled development patterns that will allow today's low density communities to evolve and transition in response to future challenges.

A New Heart for Houston

Speakers: Robert D. Yaro, Executive Director, Regional Plan Association; Jane Thompson, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Patap Talwar, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Anne Olson, Director, Buffalo Bayou Partnership; Harry L. Dodson, Principal, Dodson Associates

Realizing the need to improve the city's quality of life, Houston's leaders decided to restore the polluted and neglected river running through the center of the city. The Buffalo Bayou Partnership, a non-profit advocacy group, was formed to implement the river restoration project. The Partnership led a wide range of citizens, advocacy groups and neighborhood representatives to develop a plan for the river's revival and its incorporation with the surrounding urban fabric. As a result, a new regional park—one of the largest landscape reclamation projects in the country—is being created as the new heart of America's 4th largest city.

Comparing Coastal Responses to Promote Regional Resiliency

Speakers: Tina Shumate, Senior Technical Recruiter, Recruiting Manager, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources; Nicola Hedge, Climate Initiative Manager, The San Diego Foundation; Linda Giannelli Pratt, Chief Program Manager, Environmental Services, City of San Diego, CA

Hurricane Katrina's destruction along the Gulf Coast has required communities to rebuild from scratch, rethinking urban patterns and long-range planning. Today, new master plans across the Mississippi Gulf Coast aim to curb sprawl and rebuild compact communities with green infrastructure to manage storm water and mitigate flooding in low-lying areas. On another coast, San Diego County residents need only recall the recent multi-year drought and devastating wildfires to recognize climate change impacts bearing down on the US southwest. The region, however, is emerging as an incubator for innovative development of plans to mitigate and adapt to our changing climate, with philanthropy playing a catalytic role and local governments like the City of San Diego leading by example. Join this discussion comparing and contrasting approaches of two coastal regions to advance smart growth and promote regional climate resiliency.
