SUMMARY:A Virtual EDI Symposium

One of the priorities of the EDI Committee is to expand our outreach to broader\, younger\, and more diverse people in the hopes of generating interest in urban/community planning and related professions. \nFor some context\, the theme for International Women’s Day 2023 is “Imagine a gender-equal world. A world free of bias\, stereotypes\, and discrimination. A world that is diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.” Our guests will speak about their personal and professional experiences both in and out of academia and offer some insights from their research and practice areas. \n1.5 CM equity credits will be available. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 850 4130 7650\nPasscode: 499441\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,85041307650#\,\,\,\,*499441# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,85041307650#\,\,\,\,*499441# US

SUMMARY:Energy Scenario Planning for Cities & Counties Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Data-driven decision-making can empower communities to invest resources in the most impactful and cost-efficient way. With the passage of the bipartisan infrastructure law\, new resources are now becoming available for local governments\, which makes this an especially important time for communities to be setting clean energy goals and planning how to use resources effectively. This workshop will highlight two complementary tools. The SLOPE Scenario Planner allows users to build\, view\, and compare energy scenarios through the year 2050. \nJoin us in this NREL workshop to discover: \n\nwhat will it mean for your community as the grid is decarbonized\,\nas more drivers choose electric vehicles\,\nas building heating is electrified\,\nand energy loads become more flexible?\n\nYou will explore energy consumption\, carbon emissions and system costs for your county during the live demo. Workshop participants will also gain hands-on experience with the SLOPE Data Viewer\, which can augment the Scenario Planner discussion with data about solar technical potential\, energy efficiency\, transportation and more. \nCM 1.25\n \nRegister Here

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
