APA-NJ will hold a shoe collection drive throughout the conference to benefit the charity Soles4Souls.  Please join us by cleaning out your closet and bringing your donation of new or gently worn shoes. 

Your Extra Pair Could Be Their First

Your gift of footwear is important to children and adults around the world.  Footwear can help eliminate the spreading of disease through the foot as well as help children obtain an education, as many schools require footwear to attend.  In addition, used shoes support micro-enterprise efforts to eradicate poverty in Haiti and other developing countries.   

Since 2004, Soles4Souls has delivered over 19 million pairs of shoes in over 125 countries.  Less than 1% of all donations cannot be reused but do not end up in landfills; these shoes are directed to a waste-to-energy facility.

So please RECYCLE your footwear at the conference.  Learn more at www.GiveShoes.org.

More questions?  Contact Linda Wills, APA-NJ Community Service Coordinator at [email protected].

January 2013 On behalf of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Rutgers University, I would like to welcome you to the American Planning Association’s rescheduled 2012 New Jersey Planning Conference. The agenda has been adroitly reshaped in response to the critical planning imperatives unleashed by SuperStorm Sandy. The conference has continued to build upon the success of its predecessors, and has become a full two-day event with a diverse range of topics and activities. For the first time, attendees can now attend a full day of programs to prepare for the LEED Green Associate designation and exam, planning law sessions that examine land use decision-making from both practicing legal and planning perspectives or the ever-popular GIS workshop track. Friday’s breakout sessions continue the APA’s tradition of providing a great platform for planning practitioners, scholars, and students of planning to examine many of the issues facing our communities. From incorporating solar planning at the state and local levels, to sustainable transit-oriented development, to preparing for climate change, to planning for post-disaster recovery, and to developing a future-oriented master plan, you’ll find outstanding program offerings focused on APA’s mission to support and develop planning professionals who are dedicated to facing these challenges head-on. Together, the Bloustein School and the APA-New Jersey chapter are committed to providing opportunities for both professionals and students to examine pertinent issues that come with continued urbanization in an increasingly difficult global economy, and become agents of positive change. I would also like to take the time to thank the many volunteers and sponsors, without whose assistance this event would not have been possible. Best regards,

James W. Hughes, Ph.D. Dean

PLB1 - The Expert Witness: How Best to Manage, Marshal and DeployCM I 1.5 I Law

Planners are often frustrated when someone else drives the presentation, and lawyers have to rely on someone else to make the case through expert testimony. What does it take to work effectively as a team in a land use trial? This presentation is designed to help planners and lawyers understand the strengths of the role of planners as an expert witness. We will offer practical advice from the Hon. Peter A. Buchsbaum, J.S.C. as to what makes for an effective presentation to a trial judge. In addition, we will offer practical tips for attorneys and planners as to how best to prepare for and present expert testimony, both in the trial court context but also before planning and zoning boards.

GIS2 - Integrating GIS & GISP’s into Planning PracticeCM I 1.5

Often, working planners have little time to devote to GIS tasks. Here's where a GIS Professional (GISP) can come in handy. But what is a GISP? Can a planning organization get by without one? In this session, the background and status of the relatively new GISP certification process will be described, as well as the relationship between professional planners and GISPs. This session will also cover how to match a planning organization's needs with appropriate GIS configurations. The material for this topic will be drawn from real-world situations observed at planning agencies at all levels of government, in the private and non-profit sectors.

A1 - Healthy CommunitiesCM I 1.5

Planning for "Healthy Communities" is more than just the overwhelming battle to reduce obesity and diabetes rates; it is about a sensible approach toward community building that strengthens the social fabric by designing for an array of choices. These choices range from healthy food options to safe pedestrian circulation that focuses on access to goods and service, and recreational programs and amenities. But it doesn't end there! The economic health is equally important, and the ratable chase that has been proven to produce disjointed sprawl patterns of development is not the best economic option for a community's fiscal health. This panel will discuss all the issues associated with community health that the healthcare industry is just beginning to learn - that community design matters.

A3 - Regional Approaches to Sustainable TODCM I 1.5

In recent years the intertwined relationships that link areas within different municipalities has been recognized at both the state and federal levels. With the North Jersey Regional Plan for Sustainable Development gearing up, this broader, more comprehensive approach will figure even more prominently with a focus on areas along rail or roadway corridors that span municipal boundary lines. This session will illustrate the potential effectiveness of multi-jurisdictional planning approaches for municipalities that may be interested in pursuing this approach as part of the RPSD and other initiatives.

A4 - New Paradigms for Housing DiversificationCM I 1.5

Workforce housing, housing for HIV/AIDs populations, housing for teachers and firefighters--urban centers in New Jersey have created new types of housing and housing affordability incentives to meet the needs of diverse populations that do not necessarily fit the traditional definition of "affordable housing" candidates.  This session will examine case studies of successful models of workforce housing, micro-unit apartments, housing for artists and special needs populations, and discuss public and private financing incentives available to support these new developments.

A7 - Mimicking Nature to Manage Stormwater in Urban Areas CM I 1.5

Stormwater management offers many benefits, including much-needed protection against flooding and rising sea-levels.  But today, stormwater rarely finds a soft spot to soak into the ground in New Jersey’s urbanized areas.  Instead it flows across rooftops and pavement, picking up pollutants (and in some places mixing with raw sewage) before running into waterways, exacerbating flooding and degrading water quality.  This session highlights innovative approaches to capturing stormwater early, using planted areas, rainwater harvesting and porous pavement.  Such “green infrastructure” projects not only rely on nature’s techniques but share nature’s benefits as well – greening cities, cleansing water and air, lowering temperatures, and recharging groundwater.  

Friday, Breakout A, 9:45am - 11:15amSpeakers will highlight best practices at various scales: a large redevelopment project (Jersey City), a municipality (Newark) and a county (Passaic).  They will also offer practical advice for local governments on how to plan, construct and pay for green infrastructure.

B8 - The Rebuild Challenge:  What Should Planners Do? CM I 1.5

Sandy destroyed and damaged thousands of structures along the Jersey Shore and Raritan Bay, displaced thousands of families, ravaged beaches, dunes and boardwalks, and provided a sobering wakeup call about the fragility and natural hazards of the coast.  Many public officials have vowed to rebuild promptly.  Others urge that the recovery now underway lead to more resilient communities.  The challenge of rebuilding after Sandy raises critical issues, including climate change, public beach access, beach replenishment and dune construction, building standards in coastal flood areas, protecting the public’s safety from inevitable future storms, restoring rapidly boardwalks, piers, and parks vital to the shore economy, and how best to pay and share the multi-billion costs.  This session will explore the “new normal” and actions taken since Sandy, examine options going forward, suggest what’s likely to happen next, and chart roles for planners in this process.
