SUMMARY:2017 Urban Planning Conference (CM | 6.0)
DESCRIPTION:The Master of Science in Urban Studies and Planning program at Savannah State University (SSU) will host the fifth annual Urban Planning Conference from 7:30 a.m.- 4:15 p.m. on Friday\, March 31\, 2017\, in the new Student Union.. This year’s conference theme is “Equity Planning: Creating Diverse and Inclusive Communities”.\n \nThis year’s conference will focus on equity planning to address the widening gap between prosperous communities and those that continue to be disenfranchised. Despite the growth and positive transformation that have occurred in many rural and urban areas over the past few decades\, a significant segment of the American population live in substandard conditions. As planning professionals\, it is crucial that we promote equitable development and advocate for policies and practices that mitigate systemic inequities in housing\, transportation\, economic opportunities\, and living environments.\n \nThe keynote speaker is Matias Valenzuela\, Ph.D.\, the Director of the Office of Equity and Social Justice in King County\, WA. His office is a countywide effort to address the root causes of inequities working with all county agencies and the community. He will present and discuss the implementation of The Equity and Social Justice Strategic Plan that collectively established a set of values to achieve a goal of equity and social justice for all residents of King County\, Washington.\n \nAll sessions are open to the public. All participants must register and pay the conference fees of $50 (presenters and regular participants) or $75 (AICP participants who are seeking CM Credits). The conference offers up to 6 hours CM Credits pending approval by the American Planning Association. For a full conference schedule\, list of presenters and online registration\, visit the Savannah State website.\n \nFor additional information email Deden Rukmana\, Ph.D.\, associate professor and coordinator of the Urban Studies and Planning graduate program\, or call 912-358-3218.\n \n\n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Economic Development Finance Programs (CM | 24)
DESCRIPTION:The core objective of this analytical course is to explain the financial tools used to stimulate private sector investment that results in the creation of permanent\, private sector jobs\, increased productivity and improvement in the local tax base. Specifically\, the course will review current debt\, equity\, grant and incentive-based financing programs that are accessible to practitioners both rural and urban. Moreover\, course participants will learn how to calculate debt/service ratios\, cash on cash rate of return\, capitalization rates\, underwriting ratios\, debt coverage ratios and similar financial tools used to identify project feasibility. Course instructors will also spend time teaching how potential investors measure return on investment (ROI) how lenders evaluate risk. Participants will have an opportunity to work through multiple case studies in order to solidify their knowledge of the finance programs. \nMore information

SUMMARY:2015 Urban Planning Conference (CM | TBD)
DESCRIPTION:The Savannah State University Master of Science in Urban Studies and Planning program\, is pleased to extend an invitation for you to attend the 2015 Urban Planning Conference titled “Planning to Thrive: Collaboration\, Adaptation and Implementation” on Wednesday\, March 25\, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the new Student Union.  \nThe conference will address how planning facilitates communities to thrive and stay ahead of challenges. Planning plays an important role in addressing those challenges and anticipating the future of American cities. By staying ahead of challenges\, cities are ready to see opportunities and thrive. Planning makes connections between the future vision and short term actions. Cities that don’t actively plan for their future may not be able to thrive. Conference participants will explore a range of questions about the role of planning in creating thriving communities. \nAll sessions are open to the public. All participants must register and pay the conference fees of $25.00 (advance payment) or $30.00 (day of the conference). All proceeds go to benefit students of the Urban Studies and Planning program at Savannah State University. \nFor a full conference schedule\, list of presenters and online registration\, visit the website. \nAs we have done in the two previous years\, all lectures in the conference will be registered to the American Planning Association for Certification Maintenance (CM) credits for AICP holders.  \nPlease do not hesitate to contact Dr. Deden Rukmana (conference organzier) at (912) 358-3218 or rukmanad@savannahstate.edu.

SUMMARY:Michael Batty: Visualizing Smart City Technologies
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will outline the rapid development of new tools for visualising cities and their functions with an emphasis on how they can be used in the analytical phases of urban design. It will embed these new developments in geo-visualisation within the development of tools for extracting new data – big and open data for example\, with new forms of analytics that are being fashioned to study and plan for the development of smart cities where a focus on short term change is to the fore. We begin with the most obvious examples of digital visualisation – 2D and 3D maps – from geographic information systems (GIS) and computer-aided design (CAD) technologies. These merge into augmented and virtual realities and imply that much of what has been developed for desktop applications is now shifting to the web. We then examine networks\, noting the early development of space syntax but then moving to flow systems of various kinds that record interaction between the elements of a design. We look at models of flows\, specifically traffic and pedestrian movement and then consider how new social media produced in real time is being used to inform small-scale interactions at the level of spatial and social networks. Scientific visualisation is also affecting design in that more abstract infographics are being used to display and visualise the complexity of design\, and to this end\, we show various new forms of network and connectivity. Finally we note how real time data is being delivered to designers using various forms of dashboard which summarise how cities are performing and we conclude by suggesting that these new kinds of visualisation are beginning to enrich the field of urban design by innovative display of ideas and their access through online participation. \nProfessor Michael Batty is Bartlett Professor of Planning at University College London where he is Chair of the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). He has worked on applying computers to cities and has published several books from Urban Modelling (CUP\, 1976) to Cities and Complexity (MIT Press\, 2005) and most recently The New Science of Cities (MIT Press\, 2013). His blogs www.complexcity.info cover the science underpinning the technology of cities and his posts and lectures on big data and smart cities are at www.spatialcomplexity.info. His research group works on applications of computer models of various kinds to large cities with a strong focus on visualisation and dissemination using the latest digital technologies. He is the editor of Environment and Planning B.
