Tony Brown Universities stand front and center in the globally competitive knowledge economy, but they remain an untapped resource for creating great places that are strategic to attracting and retaining the talent needed in that economy. Presenters will explain how planning professionals can work with colleges and universities in the areas of urban design, financing, sustainability programs, transit, safety, walkability, small business development, and much more to create vibrant places that foster innovation and economic development. Presentations will include case studies from around the country, national policy and funding initiatives, and recommended fundamentals for creating strong and effective university-community partnerships.
