Promoting urban comfort in a compact futureSilvia Tavares
This document summarizes a study analyzing urban comfort in Christchurch, New Zealand before and after earthquakes damaged the city center. It assessed indicators of urban living, social/retreat spaces, local identity, recreation/gardening, and adaptation at three points: pre-earthquake, during temporary sites post-earthquake, and under the current blueprint/landscape. While some indicators like connection to outdoors were maintained, others like various space types and microclimate consideration are unclear. The document concludes that subtle shifts in public space control, social character and building heights were not fully considered, and recommends improvements like more small, wind-protected spaces and regulating north-facing building heights.

This document provides information about establishing and operating a stormwater utility. Some key points:
- Over 1,700 stormwater utilities operate in the US, ranging from populations of 88 to over 3 million served.
- Utilities are created by ordinance and provide dedicated funding for stormwater management services.
- Services typically include infrastructure, permitting compliance, education, and more.
- Fees are usually based on impervious surface area using an Equivalent Residential Unit. Credits can incentivize green infrastructure.
- Partnerships can help smaller municipalities by sharing services, equipment, and expertise. Various financing options are also available.
This document discusses 13 lessons learned about implementing green infrastructure. It begins by describing proposed changes to New Jersey regulations that would require non-structural stormwater management strategies and minimum standards for recharge, runoff quality and quantity to be met using green infrastructure for major developments disturbing over 1 acre of land. It then provides lessons such as locating green infrastructure strategically, maintaining it long-term, using engineered soil, capturing water from all areas, and how green infrastructure can benefit and engage communities. The overall message is that green infrastructure is an effective approach for managing stormwater and achieving regulatory goals while creating aesthetic and ecological benefits.
The document summarizes New Jersey's stormwater management rules. It discusses amendments made in 2018-2019 that were adopted in March 2020, with an effective date of March 2021.

This document outlines a collaborative project between New Jersey Future, the Village of Ridgewood, and Age Friendly Ridgewood to create an aging-friendly community in Ridgewood. It was funded by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety and mobility, expand housing diversity and affordability, and create a more vibrant downtown area. Main goals include engaging residents, improving intersections for pedestrians, exploring housing options for older residents, improving street furniture and lighting at bus stops, and implementing a phased plan for sidewalk and crosswalk improvements.
This document discusses smart growth and form-based code approaches to community planning. Smart growth encourages compact, walkable development with a mix of uses, housing types, and transportation options. Form-based code regulates physical form to achieve a specific urban context. It uses standards for streets, blocks, and building heights/types to create predictable, vibrant neighborhoods. Both approaches aim to integrate development, reduce sprawl, foster livability and sustainability for people of all ages.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Isaac D. Kremer, Executive Director of the Metuchen Downtown Alliance, about creating an age-friendly community through tactical urbanism projects. Some key points:
- Since 2009, $100 million has been invested in Metuchen through redevelopment projects focused on arts/culture, food, greenery, public spaces, streets, and storefront improvements.
- Examples of tactical urbanism projects that enhanced public spaces and the pedestrian experience include a sidewalk piano, guerrilla art installations, parklets, bike share programs, and street furniture.
- Storefront improvement consulting and small grants helped fund 30 facade renovations, increasing property values and attracting new businesses.
AARP works to promote livable communities for people of all ages. They define a livable community as having affordable housing, community services, and transportation options to facilitate independence. As America ages, more older adults want to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible.

The document discusses some of the challenges involved in managing redevelopment plans (RDPs) in Jersey City, New Jersey. It notes that Jersey City has 87 RDP areas adopted since 1952 to redevelop and revitalize parts of the city. However, RDPs can become outdated and fail to account for changes in surrounding contexts. Other challenges include reconciling density standards between plans, amending plans, and ensuring plans support current trends in mixed-use and transit-oriented development. Redeveloping areas with expired or obsolete plans also poses difficulties.
This document discusses the adaptive reuse of old buildings by giving them new lives. It highlights how preserving historic buildings can revitalize neighborhoods while providing environmental benefits over new construction. The presentation provides several case studies of old buildings from the early 20th century that have been adaptively reused as hotels, apartments, and office spaces. It argues that adaptively reusing existing structures is more sustainable than demolishing them to build anew.
The document summarizes New Jersey's Land Bank Law, which allows municipalities to establish land bank entities to address vacant and abandoned properties. It describes the legal precedents that led to the law, including two cases where the courts found that land banking was not a valid public purpose for eminent domain.
