SUMMARY:2016 Atlanta Studies Symposium CFP
DESCRIPTION:To be mobile is to have the ability to move. It is to move across space\, from one neighborhood to another\, perhaps\, or across social categories of well-being\, such as from the working poor to the middle-class. The challenges to mobility in Atlanta—whether physical or social—remain a key concern for residents\, policymakers\, and scholars from a variety of disciplines. As the city flourishes in some places for some people\, it declines in other places\, where residents suffer. At once Atlanta is boundless in its hope and tragic in its despair. \nFor the fourth annual Atlanta Studies Symposium\, to be held at Georgia State University on May 11th\, 2016\, we invite scholars and activists to learn from and act on research about Atlanta’s mobilities\, including that of its central city and the broader metropolitan area. We seek panels and paper presentations that address the challenges and opportunities for Atlanta’s past\, present\, and future mobilities. \nWe welcome fully-constituted panels of three to five paper presentations\, which should include a cover letter indicating the focus of the panel and its participants. We also welcome individual papers or posters for consideration in the symposium. Please submit 250-word abstracts for paper presentations on this form no later than January 31\, 2016. If you have questions about the event\, please email Katherine Hankins or Joe Hurley. \nThe Fourth Annual Atlanta Studies Symposium will feature the inaugural Cliff Kuhn Memorial Keynote\, given by Emory University Professor of History Joseph Crespino. \nSponsors of the event include Emory University’s Center for Digital Scholarship\, Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of City and Regional Planning\, and Georgia State University’s Center for the Progress of Cities\, Department of History\, and the Department of Geosciences. \nThe call for papers can be found here.

SUMMARY:Planning for Aging Septic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Aging septic systems are a threat to human health\, water quality\, and the environment. Athens-Clarke County plunged in to solve the issue with funds from an EPD Grant in conjunction with the Upper Oconee Water Planning Council. \nWhere:Athens-Clarke County Planning Department Auditorium120 W. Dougherty StreetAthens\, GA 30601 \nWhen:Friday\, January 8 from 3:00 – 5:00 PM followed by an optional networking opportunity at Creature Comforts Brewery. \nAthens-Clarke County (ACC) has nineteen stream segments listed on the EPD 303(d) list for fecal coliform contamination. Using funds from a 319 Grant\, ACC developed a program to address the issue. \nThe creation of the septic inventory\, education campaign\, and the water quality monitoring program has successfully helped ACC understand the impacts of failing septic systems and to work on de-listing impaired streams. It also demonstrated the lack of septic system knowledge pushing ACC staff to continue the education efforts through the Clarke County Health Department and ACC Stormwater Program. The Septic System inventory and educational materials will be used as a template for communities throughout the state of Georgia and made available to session participants. \nFor more information and to register email marilyn.hall@athensclarkecounty.com

SUMMARY:World Town Planning Day
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Tech Student Planning Association would like to officially invite you to be a part of World Town Planning Day 2015 on Nov 9 at 6:30pm in the College of Architecture Auditorium.  \nAs we continue the tradition of hosting compelling panel discussions on timely and relevant planning issues in Atlanta\, this year’s topic will ask “Who Owns the Streets?”  \nAs Atlanta moves away from a principally car-focused orientation for its roads and looks towards more complete streets\, how can planners and designers equitably distribute these physical spaces between different uses and users? Who should have the authority to make decisions about streets– the parties that own them\, the current users that take advantage of them\, potential future users\, or the communities through which the roads run and often play a large part in defining? Moving in this direction\, there does not seem to be an understood precedent on many of this issues\, and this has been made clear through the clashes surrounding the addition of bike lanes\, in conversations about transit priority\, and even in the debate about painting rainbow crosswalks at intersections. Join us as we bring together traffic engineers\, cyclists\, and representatives from PEDS\, MARTA\, GDOT\, and local communities in order to engage this vital discussion. \nJoin us as we bring together six expert panelists to participate in the discussion: \n\nDr Timothy Crimmins\, Georgia State University\, Professor and Director of the Center for Neighborhood and Metropolitan Studies\nJim Durrett\, Buckhead Community Improvement District\, Executive Director\nSally Flocks\, PEDS\, Director and CEO\nAndrew Heath\, Georgia Department of Transportation\, State Traffic Engineer\nBecky Katz\, City of Atlanta\, Chief Bike Officer\nKatherine Kelley\, Green Street Properties\, President and CEO\nJanide Sidifall\, MARTA\, Senior Regional Planner\n\nTo find out more and to stay updated\, join our Facebook event. \nEmail questions to Blake Reeves.
