The document discusses the need for suburban regions to evolve in order to address economic, energy, and climate challenges. It argues that suburbs will need to provide more transportation options, allow mixed-use and higher density development, and create more walkable neighborhoods to thrive in the future. New Urbanism offers principles for suburban evolution, like interconnected streets, mixed-uses within walking distance of homes, and a focus on public realm and sense of place. Form-based codes are presented as a tool to achieve a community vision and predictable urban form. Examples of New Urbanist developments are provided.
Every one in the world wants to live in a compact environment. like in olden days the peoples they were used telephone, telegram, etc. for communication. but in the current scenario every one have smart phones for better communication. Because smartphones are compact and convenient to them.This presentation about Compact City planning and also it dealt how various compact cities in the developed and developing countries manage themselves. This presentation just gives an outline of the compact city planning.

Building Sustainable Communities: Urban Planning in the Portland Metro Regi...South Fraser Blog
Presentation by Oregon Metro Councilor Collette in which she give a general overview of the Metro Portland region and the role of the elected Oregon Metro Council. She gives information on Metro’s role in land-use planning, the urban growth boundary, and the region’s long-term planning document: Region 2040. She focuses on the link between land-use planning and transportation plan, and how Portland is in the business of designing multi-modal transportation corridors today. She also outlines the region’s priorities for high-capacity transport or light rail, and other orders of public and active transit. There is a case study on Tigard.
Metro Councilor Robert Liberty discusses and presents work that Metro is doing in an effort to produce environmentally and pedestrian friendly communities, while preserving and investing in the communities that already exist. Mr. Liberty recognizes that the current, rapid rate of land development in the United States is destructive to our economy, environment and way of life.
9/8 THUR 12:15 | Keynote Ellen Dunham-JonesAPA Florida
In line with the conference theme, “What Will We Do Now?”,Ellen Dunham-Jones will open the conference with a discussion on how to transform the sprawl of suburbia into a more resilient and more urban future. Ms. Dunham-Jones co-authored
the book, “Retrofitting Suburbia”, which catalogs a full range of strategies from full-scale town center redevelopment to transformations of big box sites into churches, call centers, and public libraries to incremental strategies such as improving accessibility, so residents can age in place. Ms. Dunham-Jones is an award-winning architect, professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a leading authority on suburban redevelopment. She teaches and researches contemporary architectural urban design studios and theory. Her insights and their potential
for application in Florida should be of particular interest as communities come to terms with sprawling development patterns in the face of fewer available resources needed to serve them.

“The ethics of transport planning” - Prof Stephen Potter talks at the HCDI se...Marco Ajovalasit
This presentation will explore the ethical issues behind what appears to be a technical design process - that of transport planning decisions. It will draw upon the transport/land use designs explored in Britain’s new towns (and Milton Keynes in particular) which help to highlight the ethical decisions involved.
This will illustrate the way that the design of towns and cities affects our travel behaviour and constrains our ability to choose to travel in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Indeed, we can get locked into unsustainable travel behaviours and feel powerless to behave otherwise. This leads to the now prevalent negative attitude towards transport policy initiatives and often outright opposition to sustainable transport developments.
Urban design professionals argue that high density settlements are the main way that sustainable transport choices can be provided, as such designs produce conditions which make for good public, and also suppress car use. However, although such an approach is possible in major conurbations and city centres, this is a difficult and contentious approach for suburban Britain. For most places ‘big city’ design solutions are not politically viable.
Perhaps we should be looking to more innovative approaches. These could blend a variety of new measures, such as the ‘smarter travel’ initiatives as well as new emerging technologies. However these require a different way of doing transport planning to the traditional ‘big infrastructure’ transport policy approaches. New physical design approaches often require the redesign of the processes and structures to implement and manage them, and this may be the key barrier to success.
This is the presentation Michael Skipper, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Planning Office, delivered to the Transit Citizen Leadership Academy of Septemb
Professor John Stanley, Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies of The University of Sydney, presented at our seminar entitled 'Sustainable Transport in Victoria: Developing, financing and implementing a state plan', on Thursday 8 May, 2014 in Melbourne.

The City of Tarpon Springs seeks to revitalize its downtown core areas and encourage redevelopment for a vibrant, thriving, destination with a wide range of travel options. The principal ways proving access to the City's urban neighborhoods are constrained and cannot be widened to meet existing or future demand generated by redevelopment. In addition, existing future land use and zoning regulations are out of touch with the area's traditional urban form.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLES OF SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES
Cities present a crucial challenge and opportunity in the coming decades, as more than 2.5 billion people are expected to be added to the world's urban areas by 2050.
This presentation from Ani Dasgupta, Global Director, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, explores real-world examples of how change has been made in some of the fastest growing cities and economies of the world and discuss actions to ensure sustainable urbanization in the years and decades ahead.
There is strong evidence that improved economic productivity and resource efficiency that accompany urbanization can be achieved while simultaneously addressing the environmental and social externalities from rapid urban growth. Although a combination of technological, social and political innovation is necessary, a wide range of actionable solutions are currently available to address the challenges cities face across various sectors. 2015-16 is an unprecedented year of opportunity - with COP, SDG and Habitat III - for advancing action at the global and city level towards advancing sustainable urban growth.

Public Transportation Funding: Who Pays, Who Benefits and What's the Impact o...Urban Habitat
In 2014 there will potentially be transportation funding and infrastructure ballot measures in several Bay Area Counties. The largest burden of these measures, potentially more than $10 billion over 25 years, will be paid by low income and working class communities.
But how do we ensure these investments benefit the communities who will pay and who depend most on public transportation? What happens when these new transit investments follow market rate development and cause increased displacement? Can transportation investments, transit oriented development and equitable development co-exist?

5. Implications for the Future… http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-op-kotkin6-2008jul06,0,1038461.story Response Depends on One’s Perspective on the Age-Old Debate: Suburban demand will remain strong Many suburbs will not survive More car use = More pollution; More congestion Less car use = Less pollution Single, isolated uses force car travel for all needs A mix of uses within walking distance Car-dependent travel; limited route options Multiple transportation modes and route options Living closer to suburban jobs keeps travel miles low Living + working in City is the only way forward; More sustainable Suburban living is good/better City living is good/better The “Leinbergers” The “Kotkins” vs.

13. Adopt not just a tax-revenue-based land-use policy… Key NU Design Principles But also an Urban Design Policy...Allow Boulevards with Multiple Transportation Modes, Mixed-Uses and/or Multiple Residential Types (maybe not this dense) along Boulevards
14. Key NU Design Principles For better traffic circulation and less traffic congestion, avoid/minimize cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets as they promote greater car dependence Instead, allow well-connected network of streets that may or may not be in rectilinear grids
15. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 1 Harbor Town, Memphis, TN: Variety of Residential Types Mixed-Uses Connected Neighborhoods Boulevard System Strong Sense of Place
16. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 2 New Town at St. Charles, MO: Innovative Variety of Residential Types Mixed-Use Center/Civic Center Integrated/Creative Stormwater System High-quality Public Realm/Sense of Place
17. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 3 Legacy Center, Plano, Texas Town Center on street grid Commercial, Office, Hotel, Restaurants, Townhomes, Condominiums/Apartments Central Civic Space/Sense of Place
18. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 4 Addison Circle, Addison, Texas: Close to suburban train station Primarily Residential with Townhomes and Apartments Major Open Space Central to Plan Moderately High Density High Quality of Space/Strong Sense of Place
19. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 5 Southlake Center, Southlake, Texas: Central Civic Space: Foreground to Village Hall Surrounded by Mixed-Use Shopping + Offices, Entertainment, Restaurants and Townhomes Major Innovation from Single-Use Shopping Center (as initially proposed) Highly Successful Community Destination/Community Pride
20. Suburban Evolution with New Urbanism: Example 6 Plano TOD, Texas: New downtown/TOD at a DART station Moderately dense Neighborhoods with Mixed-Use Shopping Economic Development/Transit Ridership Increase/Sustainable Model

….
Major findings: public support for transit is evident no matter what the question…
And now there is going to be federal level initiative to provide grants to communities to plan to be New Urban…
