Resilience in Vulnerable Communities
The APA Housing and Community Development Division is exited to host the second part of our series on Resilience in Vulnerable Communities. Hilton Head Island’s population was predominately Gullah Geechee people for generations until a bridge brought development in 1956. Because of this new development Gullah Geechee people were forced out due to rising land, housing, and tax costs. A Gullah Geechee Land and Cultural Preservation Task Force was created to preserve their culture and the result of their work included 37 policy recommendations. Strategies to address cultural preservation, land management, heirs’ property and community development were included. Sheryse DuBose, with the Town of Hilton Head will discuss how the Gullah Geechee people were instrumental in this major planning project and their plan to retain the community fabric when the native community is actively leaving. The speakers will describe the zoning measures being considered to ensure the community has access to land and the programs that exist to arrest land sales for heirs’ property.
Suburban Design in a New Era
Join us for a webcast hosted by the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association and the Municipal Design Review Network (MDRN), where attendees will learn about design strategies and amenities that the suburbs are embracing for healthier and more dynamic spaces. Hear how research has led to such strategies, and learn from experts on how suburban communities are adapting spatially in this new era.
Legacy Businesses: Emerging Directions
Across North America, especially in rapidly growing communities, the public laments the demise of quirky, independent enterprises -- the long standing barbers, bakeries and bookstores that have created and sustained a sense of place for generations. Unfortunately, planners have few tools to promote or preserve these community institutions. Following the pioneering example of San Francisco (and a handful of international initiatives), communities have started exploring legacy business programs, which range from simple documentation to marketing campaigns to technical assistance programs to grants and incentives. Legacy business programs are also part of a movement to address the “diversity deficit” in the preservation field. Practitioners increasingly call for new ways to document and promote intangible culture (rather than merely architecture) and utilize new media to spread “living history;” foster inclusion and “social sustainability;" broaden the constituency for historic preservation; and ensure that vernacular and underrepresented heritage is not lost. Planners and advocates from San Francisco, San Antonio, TX and Cambridge, MA will talk about different approaches to identifying, documenting and promoting legacy businesses in their communities. The session will also include highlights from a study of similar initiatives across North America conducted by Dr. Elizabeth Morton detailing the criteria; scope; engagement strategies; and policy tools used.
The Road to AICP
Do you have doubts about becoming AICP certified? Are you a student thinking about a career in planning wanting to learn more about the AICP certification process? Are you planning to take the upcoming AICP exam? This webinar is for you! The American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) is the only nationwide verification of a planners’ expertise. In 2019, only 36% of APA members held the AICP certification. There are noticeable advantages to obtaining a professional certification like increased earning potential and competitive advantages in the job market. There are also barriers to entry for many qualified planners like annual dues and costs associated with continuing education. Join the APA Women & Planning Division for an informative panel discussion about the advantages & disadvantages of the AICP certification, how to apply for the exams, and some basic test tips for future test takers.
Github for Planners
Many existing trends of digitalization in planning have been accelerated during the pandemic. The importance of software and data in planning have taken a new meaning as cities look to do everything from leveraging AI to managing their curbs. When we hear "Data is the new oil" or "Code is the new concrete", understanding how the refineries and mixers operate might be a good idea. GitHub is a widely used distributed collaboration platform in the tech industry, as a tool for knowledge sharing, software development, and collaboration. David Wasserman, Data Science Practice Lead at Alta Planning & Design and Marshall Ballard, Associate at Fehr & Peers, will provide some background information on Git & GitHub and how planners can use them through a short demo of APA Technology Division's new planning-technology-resources Github Repository and how you can get involved. Q&A will follow.
Architecture and Urban Planning in Southeast Asia, South America and East Africa
This session discusses architecture and urban planning outside of North America and Western Europe
Design Thinking – Utilizing Hand Graphics to Explore Ideas
Drawing is a form of communication that builds community and bridges culture. The intent of the presentation is to initiate a dialogue regarding the importance of hand sketching to explore ideas. From the earliest days, humans have relied on illustrations, hieroglyphs and diagrams to communicate important aspects of life. The ability to draw is essential for non-verbally communication and it contributes to social understanding. However, drawing well does not always equate to good communication or even good design. So, how important is drawing in the process of design. Does drawing matter? In my opinion Drawing Really Matters. We will challenge what it means to be a designer and the attributes of a good designer in our context of illustrating ideas. To be clear, this is not about just learning how to draw…but using graphics representation to stretch your creative energy. So, let’s go forward and explore ideas that positively contribute to the good life.
Planning for Infrastructure Resilience: From Aging Infrastructure to Climate Change
What is the planner’s role in infrastructure resilience? How can planners, in partnership with the whole community, ensure that a community’s infrastructure – often managed by different private, public, and quasi-public organizations – is regularly maintained and that risks posed by climate change are reduced or eliminated? PAS Report 596: Planning for Infrastructure Resilience tackles many of these tough questions. Join us for a panel discussion where APA’s Joseph DeAngelis will take a deep dive into the PAS report, focusing on the key planning tools for infrastructure resilience and how planners can navigate infrastructure financing and planning in deep uncertainty. Mark Reiner will discuss the planner’s role in characterizing when the chronic disruptions of aging urban infrastructure should be considered as hazards, and therefore, a threat to urban resilience. He will also share insights on an infrastructure assessment tool – Whole Infrastructure Systems for Resilient Development (WISRD). Finally, a local official will share insights on how they have advanced some of these concepts, such as the integration of sea level rise data into infrastructure planning.
Get Ready: 5 trends that will change your community, and how to adapt
This session takes a big step back to look at hidden demographic and economic changes unfolding right now. We will look at how places and people are being transformed by forces we often don’t see, and how those transformations are inadvertently in conflict with The Way We Do Things. We will look at significant challenges facing communities and their planners as a result of these trends, and outline how our work may need to evolve.
Lessons in New Ruralism
This session is aimed at planners interested in leading grassroots volunteer efforts in small towns and rural areas. Without the population density or professional staff of urban areas, small communities are often dependent on creative grassroots solutions for providing basic necessities such as food systems, support for those aging in place, children's programs, jobs and energy conservation. These solutions often bring together long-time residents with newer residents, generating new problem-solving ideas. The New Ruralism Initiative, a project of APA's Northern New England Chapter and Small Town and Rural Planning Division, is an on-line resource library on innovative locally-driven solutions to everyday problems faced by small towns and rural areas (https://nne.planning.org/knowledge/new-ruralism/). "Lessons in New Ruralism" was published in fall 2020 to provide an overview of twenty case studies and the lessons learned from them. This session will provide a brief overview of the New Ruralism Initiative, explore several successful case studies, and then focus on the lessons learned from twenty communities across the country as they developed creative ways to adapt to and succeed within today's economy while holding onto local values. These lessons are applicable to any grassroots project striving to improve livability in a small town or rural area.

Local Climate Action in Oregon
The global climate crisis is one of the most serious threats facing us today and action must be taken at every level of government. Local planners have a key role to play in helping to mitigate climate change impacts and to ensure our communities adapt to a changing climate. In Oregon, several cities and counties have developed Climate Action Plans for reducing the generation of greenhouse gases and for addressing the potential risks and hazards that rapid climate change can pose to local communities. In this webinar, speakers from the Cities of Portland, Corvallis, and Milwaukie will share their insights into the purpose, process, and challenges of local climate action planning--including integrating climate policy into other local planning and sustainability efforts, giving extra attention to equity and social justice, and the challenges of turning plans into action.

Parks are an Essential Business
Many cities lack adequate access to parks and trails. This equity gap has severe consequences for the health of our communities. Recognizing these inequities and developing plans and funding mechanisms to address them is critical to the future wellness and competitiveness of our cities. In addition to highlighting examples in other cities, this session will illustrate how planners in Columbus, Ohio, quantified unequitable access, set a goal of every resident to be within one half mile of a park or trail, and developed a targeted strategic land acquisition plan. Equitable access to parks and trails in our communities is critical to understand, document and address. Participants will learn about assessment methods to quantify equitable access and solutions to ensure that everyone has walkable access to parks and trails.

Digital Public Participation in Bogota: A Case Study Using Streetmix
Learn about the success story from a neighborhood in Bogota, Columbia and the planners that leveraged the open-source tool, Streetmix, for public engagement and participation with over 7,000 people. This session will address topics related to public participation and planning using open source tools for data collection and analysis as well as the limits of the tool for people lacking digital access or literacy.
Street Commerce: The Hidden Structure of Retail Location Patterns and Vibrant Sidewalks
Street commerce has gained prominence in urban areas, where demographic shifts such as increasing numbers of single people and childless "empty nesters," along with technological innovations enabling greater flexibility of work locations and hours, have changed how people shop and dine out. Contemporary city dwellers are demanding smaller-scale stores located in public spaces that are accessible on foot or by public transit. At the same time, the emergence of online retail undermines both the dominance and viability of big-box discount businesses and drives brick and mortar stores to focus as much on the experience of shopping as on the goods and services sold. The COVID19 pandemic has further exacerbated the problems retailers already faced, but also opened up new opportunities. In light of such trends, street commerce will play an important role in twenty-first-century cities, particularly in producing far-reaching benefits for the environment and local communities. Although street commerce is deeply intertwined with myriad contemporary urban visions and planning goals—walkability, quality of life, inclusion, equity, and economic resilience—it has rarely been the focus of systematic research and informed practice. Drawing on economic theory, urban design principles, regulatory policies, and merchant organization models, Andres Sevtsuk’s book conceptualizes key problems and offers innovative solutions on street commerce, providing a range of examples from around the world to detail how different cities and communities have bolstered and reinvigorated their street commerce. According to Sevtsuk, equitable and successful street commerce can only be achieved when the private sector, urban policy makers, planners, and the public are equipped with the relevant knowledge and tools to plan and regulate it.
Urban Planning in a COVID-19 World: Part 2
This webinar will continue and update the webinar with the same title from July of 2020. As the United States begins to emerge from the worst impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the panelists, experts in transportation, public participation and land use; will discuss how the profession of urban planning has profoundly changed in the last 18 months. This panel will also discuss lessons learned with respect to racial justice, police reform, systemic racism, transportation planning and public education. This panel will also look back on how much our society as a whole has changed over the last 18 months and ways that planning can have a positive impact on how the nation’s recovery from Covid-19.
Increasing Affordable Housing Production by Modernizing State Laws & Prioritizing Funding
Increasing affordable housing production has been a challenge for decades. There are challenges to production, funding, locations and legislatively. Homelessness rates in recent years and planners need innovative ways to provide transitional and permanent supportive housing. The production of affordable housing along with wrap around services has been increasingly challenging. However, with the 2020 COVID Pandemic, new funding sources have become available, and many states are finding new ways to tackle these complex problems. How can States modernize their laws to remove barriers to housing production? In what ways are we ensuring deeply affordable housing is available for those who need it?
One state that has begun to tackle these challenges at the State level is California. The state has been able to secure funding to provide 46,000 permanently affordable units. California has been able to do this with authorizing legislation and the prioritization of funding for affordable housing. There has been allocation for deeply and conditionally affordable housing. They have also been able to address their tax credit backlog with the authorizing legislation and funding. Tune in to hear from Geoffrey Ross, California Housing and Community Development Deputy Director and Sasha Wisotsky Kergan with the California Housing and Community Development Housing Policy Division.
Equity in Policy and Practice
The first American Planning Association Policy Guide to exclusively address equity, The Planning for Equity Policy Guide, was ratified by the Board of Directors and adopted by the organization 2019. The guide offers a broad look at the policies and approaches needed for planners, policymakers and allied professionals to advance social equity and justice across all planning efforts. The guide offers direction in key equity planning areas, including gentrification, community engagement, and environmental justice. These are factors that should be part of all planning areas and efforts in order to successfully apply an equity lens. Planning efforts are increasingly focusing on the need to acknowledge historic discriminatory practices; consider the impacts of plans on all community members; and plan for the future using tools and practices to address inequities. One such effort is the recently completed Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan that was approached with equity at the forefront and completed using equitable principles of stakeholder outreach. Join us for an overview of putting the Planning for Equity Policy Guide to use followed by a focused presentation on the Charlotte, NC comprehensive plan, which uses an equity in all policies and practices approach.
Planning for the US military and US government: Challenges and opportunities
This panel will highlight the critical work that is being done by planners who work for the US military. They will share their experiences and highlight how the lessons they learned in planning school apply to their current jobs. They will also discuss opportunities for planners in the US military in particular.
YEP! The Power of Youth: Girls Who Plan Program
This session will introduce the YEP! methodology; highlight projects; and provide tips and best practices for engaging young people in the planning process as well as going into the classroom and teaching youth about urban planning. Discover best examples to develop youth's civic leadership and recruit youth into our profession — as well as steps to establish your own local program. Created by the award-winning YEP! a non-profit organization, YEP! has grown from a small initiative into a highly regarded model of innovation. Today, YEP! is a national tool for youth participatory planning and project-based learning, involving more than 7,000 students, educators, and community partners. Come with questions on how to implement a program in your community. Presenters will describe case studies of youth engagement programs they have implemented to get students interested in planning and gather youth input to guide planning processes. They will share general principles for engaging youth, including how to frame planning in a way that is appropriate for each age group, how to ask the right questions, tips for partnering with school districts, how to leverage youth engagement to energize a process, and general lessons learned about what works and doesn’t work. The presenters have extensive experience working with youth in planning projects and have developed a 9-week Junior Planner program along with a workbook.
A Planner's Toolkit to Reboot Small Businesses
The pandemic exposed inequities baked into the economic system. Planners must rethink basic assumptions about bouncing back to pre-COVID economy. This panel explores the application of new approaches: a new roadmap, targeted social impact investments and small-scale manufacturing that invest in place in an inclusive way to empower systemic transformation.
Zoom Towns: Broadband and the Culture of Connection
Many rural and suburban communities with natural assets—and robust internet service—have become attractive places for telecommuters to locate full time. Hear from communities that are weighing the benefits and pitfalls of the "zoom town" phenomenon, working to collect data about it, and seeking to understand potential long-term implications of working from home. Planners can help communities prepare by developing a deeper understanding of the influencing factors and how different approaches to accommodating them have impacts on both the physical environment and people's daily lives. This session also focuses on identifying key considerations for making decisions about policies and programs that address this phenomenon. It's especially important for planners to consider how benefits can be distributed equitably across segments of the population. How can the economic advantages of zoom towns benefit all community members?

The 15-Minute City: Our Past and Our Future
The idea of the 15-minute city is a concept that is here to stay because it is an elegant summation of what has always been the fundamental goal of a transportation and land-use system for creating environmentally, and socially, sustainable places. It also contains the seeds for the revitalization and restoration of thousands of older cities and towns in America. But what does the 15-minute city look like? To illustrate the concept, Dr. Garrick will use the case of Zürich, Switzerland which has slowly over the last 50 years recreated itself as one of the world’s preeminent 15-minute cities.

Understanding Spatial Identity
Our physical environment holds a powerful yet often unrealized connection to how we view and understand ourselves, others, and the larger world around us. Spatial identity is generally understood as the psychological connections people make to their physical environment, and the resulting emotions and memories that become associated with those places. Over the past year, as we’ve lost the ability to be in spaces together and as places have taken new meaning around social justice, understanding the ramifications of spatial identity has taken on new a level of importance. As planners, recognizing the role that Spatial Identity has in our profession can provide both a cautionary and guiding lens in which to help us better foster vibrant and livable communities for all people.
The Health Benefits of Active Transportation
This session will focus on the health benefits of active transportation (walking and bicycling). In addition to providing relevant health data and statistics, Mr. Jackman will discuss regional and statewide efforts such as WalkWise Tampa Bay, Safe Routes to Schools, and Healthy Communities. Learn about the importance of active transportation, as well as available resources that can help to transform your community and/or your lifestyle.
Road Usage Charging and the Future of Transportation Funding
Rapid growth in adoption of electric and high fuel-efficiency vehicles has put the future viability of taxing motor fuel as a funding mechanism in doubt. States are increasingly looking to alternatives like vehicle fees, sales taxes, and tolling to fund roads and bridges. The past decade has also seen significant advances in the policy and technology of a concept of paying for roads based on distance traveled. This concept, known as vehicle mileage taxes, mileage-based user fees, or road usage charging (RUC) has been particularly fast to develop in the west, with operational programs already in Oregon and Utah. Many other states have conducted research, analysis, policy development, and pilot testing of the concept. This session will explore public education, outreach, policy development, and technical advances in RUC through the eyes of the two states that have conducted the country’s largest per-capita RUC pilots: Washington and Hawaii. Since 2012, Washington has studied the business case for RUC, examined various operational approaches to implementing RUC, pilot tested five promising methods of mileage reporting, and conducted extensive stakeholder and public outreach. Following a feasibility study in 2016 pointing to RUC as a promising concept for future funding, Hawaii launched the nation’s largest pilot test in 2018, which included direct mail of custom driving statements to nearly 400,000 households, and the largest survey of public opinion of RUC to date. Based on this body of work, these two states serve as bellwethers for the future of transportation funding.
Planning for Economic Justice
Any discussion of planning for Economic Justice must begin with identifying the cause(s) of economic inequality. Economic inequality is intimating intertwined with racism and other socially constructive narratives that define the problems as intractable and designed to divide the many in the interest of the few. The following conversations, today and other panels in this serious, are a first step for APA to recognize the causes, costs, and corrective actions necessary to assuage economic inequality. Today’s session endeavors to provide the historical foundation of economic injustices, define so critical terms so we speak a common language, develop new lenses of discovery, and apply these lenses to some case studies to reveal potential pathways to enabling the Communities of Promise that have been systematically excluded from reaching their potential for self-actualization and capacity to contributed to the benefit of the whole. Zero-sum and scarcity assumption in economics has shaped our understanding of the issues, constrained our policy responses, and continue to obscure the real issues. Transcending the orthodoxy of neo-classical economics and other socially constructed narratives begins with understanding how we arrived at this point, exposing the demonstrably false assumptions, and learning from the past; so we can see an alternative all-inclusive future that benefits from the contribution of all.
Leading with Equity – A more effective way to frame Age-Friendly Approaches
The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare historical social, economic and health inequities forcing States and communities to re-evaluate and re-imagine the effectiveness of programs and service delivery. Front-and center for consideration are innovative approaches that use existing programs and resources more effectively to produce better outcomes for children, families and older adults. This session shares frameworks that can serve as a tool for public- and private-sector actors to shape a vision of an intentional planning decision-making ecosystem that ensures equity is centered in public investments in: access - transit and local mobility; community health from an all age lens and a rural-urban lens; financing cross-generational services and needs across the life cycle; and 2Gen strategies to break the cycle of poverty and replace with opportunity. The success of these approaches to address equity will depend on a shared vision, identifying priority areas, crafting service improvement plans, enabling self-assessment, monitoring progress with equity benchmarks and ensuring all structures and conditions are connected to impact equity. The frameworks lead with equity as the first dimension, making equity explicit. They set up the conditions (structures, policies and practices) necessary for equitable decision-making.
The Impact of COVID-19 on School Districts
There's no question that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on schools across Pennsylvania. Uncertainty about how school closures in spring 2020 impacted student achievement, as well as how the rapid conversion of most instruction to an online platform this academic year will continue to affect achievement. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association “Impact of COVID-19 on School Districts” webinar investigates the critical intersection of schools with communities, where boundary lines have increasingly blurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar will address the question of universal access to WiFi and broadband, online learning's implications for more flexible and customizable instructional models, and the role of schools—and school facilities—as community resource hubs. Both innovation opportunities and dire warnings will be considered as a full school year of pandemic-impacted schooling wraps up. The long-term impacts of COVID-19 on school districts and potential impact of communities will also be addressed.
Growing Water Smart: Techniques to Integrate Water Resiliency into Land Use Planning
Integrating water resource management into land use plans and policies is a key technique to curb water demand in growing communities. In this session Sonoran Institute will introduce attendees to the range of opportunities to achieve water conservation and efficiency in new development and redevelopment by integrating water resources management into land use planning processes. The Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy will provide their recommendations for successful integrating water into comprehensive plans. Water resources providers and land use planners will share insights from their efforts to work collaboratively with other agencies to achieve water-smart growth.
Moving from aspiration to action: Reorienting planners’ values towards equity, diversity and inclusion
Across the U.S., there are institutional debates regarding how best to support diversity within urban planning curricula, among our students and faculty members, and in our workplaces. Transforming the culture of White privilege in workplaces, professional practice, and education remains one of planning’s biggest challenges. Furthermore, there has been limited research that broadly examines how practitioners perceive or experience diversity within the urban planning field and the steps necessary to develop and sustain culturally competent practices in the planning profession. Researchers will discuss findings from a collaboration between the American Planning Association (APA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning – Planners of Color Interest Group (ACSP-POCIG). Drawing from their forthcoming report, they will share findings from a nationwide survey and interviews of planning professionals regarding the climate for diversity within their workplaces and the communities they serve. The study finds that although there has been progress incorporating diversity within some organizations and agencies, but there are four areas that employers, workplaces and institutions still need to address, which include: 1) lack of representation of planners of color (2) continued experiences of bias and discrimination based on identity, (3) limited pursuit by employers to address issues of diversity in the workplace, and (4) gap in educational preparation and professional practice. The session will conclude with recommendations that outline an inclusive approach on ways planners, educators, and organizations can incorporate more anti-racist actions within the field of planning.
Plagiarism & Ethics – Where to Draw the Line
Planners' work is done in service to the public, and often their work becomes part of the public domain. Does that mean planners can copy and paste from publicly available work done by others? When does copying and pasting become unprofessional and even unethical? Where to draw that line is difficult to determine. Get guidance from the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and from the ways in which academia views plagiarism. A series of examples and polling questions will test where to draw the line. Attendees will weigh in on how much "borrowing" is too much. One issue to be aware of when considering using the work of others is the free labor of underrepresented groups who make significant sacrifices to be involved in the process. How do we honor and account for their work, as well as consider what we might copy and paste from other professionals?
Planning for Innovation in Transportation
The Transportation Planning Division (TPD) presents a session that will demonstrate the variation in, and breadth of the impact of, innovation in transportation. Andrew Wolpert, the Deputy Program Manager of Smart Columbus, will begin with an overview of that initiative, and its progress with integrating emerging modes. Next Justin Goodwin, the Transportation Planning Manager for the City of Columbus will speak about a distinct but synergistic program called LinkUs, which focuses on deployment of innovative infrastructure. Finally, Mackenzie Love, Regional Transportation Planner for the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, will talk about her organization’s inaugural Transportation Technology Strategic Plan, which was developed as a tool to guide adoption of any form of innovation in a manner that is consistent with pre-established core values and objectives. After the conclusion of the presentations, attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute to a discussion of how to best plan for the ever-evolving future of transportation.
The many faces of traditional and non-traditional planning
This facilitated discussion will include planner's formal education, career path, and words of advice. We will focus on university planning, regional transportation planning, private sector planning, and Military Planning.
Retrofitting Bedroom Communities for an Equitable and Sustainable Future
For decades, regional planning promoted growth and development increasingly further away from employment centers. This has resulted in urban sprawl, displacement and gentrification, and the infringement on natural and working lands at the rural-urban interface. This “set it and forget it” approach to planning is not sustainable economically or environmentally. This is particularly true in megaregions like Northern California. This webinar explores how cities and counties adjacent to major employment centers like San Francisco and Silicon Valley have plans for retrofitting these communities to accommodate much needed housing growth and mobility expansion in a way that is equitable and sustainable, both environmentally and economically. Panelists will describe the challenges that metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) face, as well as specific opportunities and programs they are working on to make positive changes that will continue decades into the future.
