SUMMARY:Northeast Georgia Planning Collective: Jane Jacobs Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Northeast Georgia Planning Collective is arranging a Jane Jacobs walk in East Athens to be led by local residents of the neighborhood. We will have two time blocks (3:00-4:30 and 4:30-6:00 PM) in order to provide socially-distant discussion. The discussion will focus on the residential neighborhood\, its history\, evolution and where it might be going into the future. The area was originally developed for mills and housed working class residents for years\, ultimately becoming a predominantly black neighborhood. It is now feeling the development pressure that is common in cities as they follow a re-urbanizing trend. We will contemplate these issues while enjoying an afternoon stroll. \nWe will be starting along the Firefly Trail\, approximately Little Oak St & Burney St. \nMasks are currently required in Athens-Clarke County (details are subject to change); however\, we will be taking all precautions. \nPlease contact Marc Beechuk to register. Registration is limited\, so sign up soon.

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. But it’s not easy to grab a drink and do the usual networking that’s a part of this event if we’re all staring at a computer monitor. \nSo we decided to change things up this year. 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.

SUMMARY:Eighth Annual Atlanta Studies Symposium: Inclusive Innovation: Designing the Future of Atlanta - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19\, this has been postponed. Date TBD. \nThe eighth annual Atlanta Studies Symposium welcomes proposals on any aspect of Atlanta\, past\, present\, or future. Priority will be given to those that directly relate to the conference theme\, “Inclusive Innovation: Designing the Future of Atlanta.” \nIn June 2020\, the city of Atlanta will host the inaugural U.S. edition of the global Smart City Expo\, the world’s leading conference and expo on smart cities and smart urban solutions. City officials involved in this endeavor boast of their ability to “redefine what it means to be a smart city” while Atlanta researchers\, city planners\, and activists develop and investigate emerging technologies options to improve urban transportation in the City of Atlanta and the metro region. As the city hones in on its Smart City efforts\, how will art and design be utilized alongside technology to enhance its infrastructure and address issues of equity? With the metro region’s ever-growing population and increased awareness of its need for new innovative methods of development\, it is important for these methods to be inclusive and diverse to envision a more sustainable and equitable city and region. This symposium seeks to explore the points of intersection and division within Atlanta’s economic development\, population growth and increased creative potential. \nThis symposium poses the questions: \n\nHow does economic development affect art and design in Atlanta?\nHow does art and design impact the lived environment of the city?\nHow can city design address structural oppression and economic disparity?\nWhat are the ways art and design intersect with or address issues of equity in Atlanta?\nWhat role does art\, literature\, and music\, play in imagining alternative realities and radical futures for the city?\nHow is Atlanta redefining what it means to be a Smart city?\nHow is creative capital measured and cultivated within the city?\nWho is designing the future of the city? Who is included in this future?\n\nThis year\, we seek a diverse array of symposium sessions from scholars and practitioners at academic institutions\, as well as from other public\, private\, and nonprofit organizations. We welcome proposals for: \n\nFully constituted panels with up to 3 presenters and a moderator\nIndividual papers or posters\n5 minute/5 slide presentations that will be part of a lightning round session\nRoundtable discussions\nInteractive workshops\nFilm screenings\nAny other creative form of presentation you’d like to propose\n\nPlease submit abstracts via the link below no later than February 12\, 2020. \nSubmit Abstracts Here
