Virtual Smart Growth SummitDescription
For 15 years, the Center for Planning Excellence has produced the award-winning Smart Growth Summit. This year, we're excited to bring the summit to you on a virtual platform. We’ve polled past attendees and experts, and they all agree on one thing: the status quo won’t work for our future. As we are learning to navigate our new normal, more questions arise as the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic become increasingly evident. Let’s pause, reset, and consider how the inequitable systems of the past can be transformed into ones that work for all. WHAT: This year’s Summit will focus on planning a future within the context of COVID-19 response and recovery with an intensified focus on equity concerns. Participants will gain in-depth understanding of critical issues, best practices, and innovations for: The future of cities, housing, and transit as public health concerns change the way people live Adaptive reuse, placemaking, and tactical urbanism Successful community strategies for combating systemic racism through equitable planning Healthy community design Green infrastructure and nature-based approaches to water management and flood risk reduction Climate change mitigation and adaptation
