SUMMARY:Cycling for Sustainable Cities
DESCRIPTION:Cycling is a sustainable means of urban travel. It has the potential to serve many short- and medium-distance trips—for commuting to and from work and school\, shopping\, and visiting friends—as well as providing recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical\, social\, and mental health\, helps reduce car use\, enhances mobility and independence\, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. \nThis presentation explores how to make city cycling safe\, practical\, and convenient for a broad spectrum of ages\, genders\, and abilities. Buehler and Pucher discuss the latest cycling trends and policies around the world and consider specific aspects of cycling. Based on data from 2019-2020 from cities around the world\, they also review the impacts of COVID-19 on cycling levels and government policies to promote cycling. Taken together\, the presentation demonstrates that the successful promotion of cycling depends on a coordinated package of mutually supportive infrastructure\, programs\, and policies. Cycling should be made feasible for as many people as possible and not limited to especially fit\, daring\, well-trained cyclists riding expensive bicycles. The talk is based on their recent co-edited book Cycling for Sustainable Cities (MIT Press). \nSpeakers\nRalph Buehler is Professor and Chair of Urban Affairs and Planning in the School of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech’s Research Center in Arlington\, Virginia. Most of his research has an international comparative perspective\, contrasting transport and land-use policies\, transport systems\, and travel behavior in Western Europe and North America. \nJohn Pucher\, Ph.D. is professor emeritus in the School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University\, in New Jersey\, where he taught from 1978 to 2014. Over more than four decades\, Pucher has conducted research on urban transport in North America\, Europe\, Australia\, and Asia. \nAll state APA chapters in the Southeast are welcome to participate in this webinar that VA APA and NC APA are organizing and co-sponsoring.

SUMMARY:Georgia Smart Communities Challenge Final Presentation: Civic Data Science for Equitable Development
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation supports communities across Georgia through the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge community research assistance program. Georgia Smart empowers communities to envision and plan for a smarter future by providing opportunities to work with Georgia Tech and university researchers to advance local initiatives. In 2020\, the City of Savannah was one of four communities supported by Georgia Smart for their “Civic Data Science for Equitable Development” project. \nSavannah estimates that every abandoned\, blighted property in this historic city bleeds approximately $1\,300 of public funds annually. Despite its reputation for beautifully restored historic homes\, there are approximately 4\,286 vacant dwellings\, likely blighted and abandoned in the Savannah metropolitan area\, costing taxpayers millions of dollars annually. These funds are largely unrecoverable costs incurred for addressing overgrown grass\, litter\, illegal dumping\, securing open structures and demolishing properties\, and lost property tax revenue. Over the last year\, the City of Savannah has explored applications of emerging data analytics and machine learning techniques to leverage existing city data to guide decisions on the best strategy to deal with vacant and blighted properties in the community.  \n1 CM Credit \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Georgia Tech Short Course: Equity\, Place\, and Justice: Reckoning with the Past\, Planning for the Future
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Tech School of City and Regional Planning and the Georgia Planning Association (GPA) have partnered on a 3-day short course for GPA members and Georgia Tech graduate students.  The cost to attend is $75\, and net revenue will go to the Fellowship campaign for Equity\, Justice\, and Inclusive Design for students in the Georgia Tech Master’s in City and Regional Planning (MCRP) program.  This is a virtual event and has been submitted for AICP CM credits. \nThursday\, March 4: 6:30 pm – 9:15 pm\nFriday\, March 5: 9:30 am – 4:45 pm\nSaturday\, March 6: 9:00 am – 1:15 pm \nFor more information\, please contact Sei Yoshioka-Cefalo\, Academic Program Manager for the Georgia Tech School of City & Regional Planning.  \nRegister Online \nCourse Description\nEffective advocacy planning and equity planning require a willingness to confront the complex relationships between equity\, justice\, and history in places. In the U.S.\, the legacies of forced labor\, segregation\, and racial terror persist at the individual and institutional levels\, showing up in conditions such as mass incarceration\, voter suppression\, and inequitable development practices that lead to displacement.

SUMMARY:Georgia Tech Virtual Welcome Reception and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Each August\, GPA hosts a joint welcome reception at Georgia Tech for their planning students\, alumni\, and other GPA members. This year\, Georgia Tech will be having an online event instead of an in-person event due to COVID-19.

We’ll begin with a welcome from Georgia Tech and GPA leadership\, and then have a panel discussion on an important planning topic. This panel will focus on race and planning and how planners can more effectively work with underserved communities. The panelists will include: \n\nInga Kennedy\, President\, Planners for Environmental Quality (PEQ)\nMike Dobbins\, Professor of the Practice\, Georgia Tech\nMarian Liou\, Principal Program Specialist\, Atlanta Regional Commission\nModerator: Sidney Douse\, GPA Treasurer\n\nThis event is eligible for 1 AICP CM credit. We hope you’ll join us and provide your comments and questions during the discussion. No advanced registration is necessary. \nAccess Event Here

SUMMARY:Brownfields 102 – Identification and Planning Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this event is to increase the working knowledge of brownfields\, their effects on economic development\, and the policies and programs available to communities seeking to mitigate brownfield properties. Many planning professionals have very limited understanding of what constitutes a brownfield\, and even less knowledge about the resources available to assist with remediation. This session will help planners see how they can better inventory brownfields in their community and incorporate planning techniques that will aid in the eventual restoration of those properties for viable reuse. \nAmanda Heritt\, a brownfield specialist with the firm Terracon\, will review what constitutes a brownfield both legally and practically. This includes debunking the common perception that brownfields are only large\, older industrial properties with obvious contamination issues because too often communities miss or overlook other properties that may pose potent threats or miss opportunities to help address properties that aren’t assumed eligible for brownfield assistance. She’ll also discuss the benefits of brownfield remediation–environmental\, economic\, and social–as well as review the various programs and resources available to help communities actively assess and treat targeted properties.  \nAdam Hazell\, Planning Director for the GMRC\, will then review their efforts to inventory and catalog potential and existing brownfields in the region and the overall strategy to assist communities with remediation. This will include discussion of specific projects and concepts for upcoming regional applications. \nThis event has been approved for 1 CM Credit for AICP.  Please email Adam for registration and details on participation.
