SUMMARY:Radical Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:The Carter Library\, Trees Atlanta and A Cappella Books welcome Georgia Tech Professor Brian Stone Jr. for a look at three significant impacts of climate change affecting every major city around the world: extreme heat\, flooding\, and drought. He will talk about strategies for managing the rising frequency and intensity of climate events\, which he calls radical adaptation. Copies of his book will be available for purchase and signing. \nIt is the first book to establish a framework for climate change adaptation\, Stone’s aim is to understand how climate change is altering our lives in the present period – this period of transition between the ancient\, stable climate of our ancestors and the unfolding\, no longer stable climate of our children – and how our cities might adapt to these changes. Stone’s concern is with the risks posed by a new environmental regime for which our modes of living are ill-adapted\, and with how these modes of living must be altered – radically altered – to persist in a climate changed world.

SUMMARY:The Intersection Quality Development Conference - Where Housing & Infrastructure Meet
DESCRIPTION:A year ago\, The INTERSECTION explored our region’s affordable housing crisis and the partnerships working to solve it. With housing still top of mind in our metro’s now 89 local governments\, we continue this conversation this year\, through the lens of infrastructure. It is high-quality and sustainable infrastructure that makes our developments work\, and as a region and state\, we must prioritize this investment to support the expected population growth and ensure housing continues to be built. How can infrastructure investment work to alleviate our housing shortage? How are communities prioritizing housing and infrastructure in tandem? What kind of investments need to be made now?\n \nWe know traditional infrastructure when we see it\, but housing isn’t always likened to it. But just like roads\, bridges\, sewers\, power lines\, and networks\, housing is part of the fabric of a successful economy. What happens when we think about housing AS a kind of infrastructure? \nEvent Agenda \n\n7:30 | Breakfast & Networking\n8:00 | Welcome & Introductions\nMichael Paris\, President & CEO\, Council for Quality Growth\nDoug Hooker\, Moderator\nPart 1: Building for Capacity\n\n8:05 | Infrastructure Keynote\n8:30 | Mayoral Panel\, featuring:\nMayor Beverly Burks\, City of Clarkston\nMayor Rusty Paul\, City of Sandy Springs\nMayor Vince Williams\, City of Union City\nModerated By: Kyle Wingfield\, President\, Georgia Public Policy Foundation\n\n\nPart 2: Innovation in Housing\n\n9:15 | “Exploring Innovative Products & Policies – The “Housing Abundance Success Sequence”\nTobias Peter\, Co-Director\, AEI Housing Center\n10:00 | Break\n\n\nPart 3: Case Study\n\n10:15 | 2 Peachtree Conversion\n“Infrastructure’s Role in Office-to-Residential Conversions”\nEgbert Perry\, CEO\, Integral Group\n\n\nPart 4: A Regional Approach\n\n10:45 | “Fostering Regionalism”\nMichael Caldwell\, Vice Chair\, Atlanta Regional Commission & Mayor\, City of Woodstock\n11:00 | Atlanta Regional Commission’s Infrastructure Initiatives\nAnna Roach\, Executive Director\, Atlanta Regional Commission\nMichael Caldwell\, Vice Chair\, Atlanta Regional Commission & Mayor\, City of Woodstock\n\n\nPart 5: Transit as a Propellant for Development\n\n11:20 | “Cleveland’s Bus Rapid Transit Success Story”\nMaribeth Feke\, Director of Programming & Planning\, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA)\n\n\nPart 6: The Race to Regional Connectivity with County Chairs\n\n11:50 | Featuring Gwinnett & Cobb County Chairs\nChairwoman Lisa Cupid\, Cobb County\nChairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson\, Gwinnett County\n\n\n12:00 | Closing Remarks\n\nThe cost for Council for Quality Growth Members is $95\nThe cost for non-members is $115\nThe Governmental rate is $50 \nApproved for 4 CM credits. \nLearn More and Register Here
