A look at the rebuilding process in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and the lessons learned. Important considerations in rebuilding include plans for housing, economic development, neighborhood renewal, health and education, and enhanced public institutions and organizations. It's important to focus on creating a strategic framework for restoring communities, not just buildings. Focus in particular on young adults -- 18-24 -- because they are the future of the community.

Program
The evolving demographics of our communities as well as the dramatic challenges surfacing in the field
of emergency management have resulted in the magnification of issues facing the provision of emergency services for racial and ethnic minority communities. Issues of diversity are present in every
human interaction and must be acknowledged and addressed competently in all emergency management
activities. The Cross Cultural Health Care Program (CCHCP) has worked with organizations and
communities across the nation addressing topics such as effective cross cultural communication skills
for diverse populations and disaster training for medical interpreters. In 2010 CCHCP hosted a
community event to explore the challenges in emergency management facing communities in the Puget
Sound. Through an interactive presentation style involving multimedia and case studies from CCHCP
projects, this presentation will define and discuss the imperative for cultural competency and share best
practices and strategies for culturally competent emergency management.

TOD City Zoning, Permits, and Related Approval ProcessesJesse Souki
One of the largest public investments in the history of the City and County of Honolulu, the Honolulu Rail Transit project will fundamentally change how we live and do business. Transit-oriented development (TOD) will increase property values near transit stations by providing the opportunity to take advantage of frequent transit service. The project will allow an unprecedented opportunity to direct growth to Honolulu’s Urban Core (the most populated region of the state) away from agricultural, open space, and rural areas; stimulate urban renewal projects near the 21 proposed rail stations along the approximately 20-mile route; support cost-efficient, consolidated infrastructure; and increase housing affordability by reducing one of the highest costs in a Hawaii family’s budget: transportation.
This seminar will provide key insights and analysis from experts and thought leaders on policy, planning, law, and real estate market issues related to TOD.

Presentation to the American Planning Association-Hawaii Chapter, January 9, 2013, by Jesse K. Souki, Director, State of Hawaii Office of Planning. NOTE: DOWNLOAD SLIDES TO VIEW TRANSITIONS.
Executive Summary: The purpose and intent of the planning/land use laws of Hawaii are timeless, but the systems that implement these laws may need to change. On the one hand, the state is doing well in some areas, but on the other hand, people (e.g., developers, environmentalists, native Hawaiians, communities) seem to be unhappy with how the system works.
We should consider changing/modernizing the system to better achieve the original purpose and intent of the statewide planning/land use laws. This means calling the regulators, the regulated, and representatives of the various public interests to the table to rethink how we plan and develop in Hawaii. The problem needs to be addressed holistically from top to bottom. The occasional tweak of the land use law here and there is not productive, judging from recent outcomes. The law is a complex tapestry, picking at the threads can have unintended consequences for all involved. The inquiry must be disciplined and balance the need for both economic development and stewardship.
If the Office of Planning is to take a central role in this process, it needs to be properly funded. Currently the office leverages large amounts of federal funding for its work to supplement a historic disinvestment by the legislature and previous administrations.

Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Institute reports on the history of desirability of living locations, and how our automobile dependent society has fueled sprawl development. Mr. Litman also outlines the benefits of Smart Growth development and how growing trends, "changing attitudes about urban living," "increasing health and environmental concerns" and "shifting assumptions about suburban real estate values" are making headway in support of transportation and planning reforms that can transform our regions and communities into healthier, more functional, and beautiful places.
Site and Services- As an Option for Affordable HousingJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Understanding /evaluating the dynamics in the development and expansion of squatter settlements, has led to evolution of large variety of innovative housing schemes in developing countries, focusing on acute shortage of housing besides managing growth of slums ,by creating large housing stock in the affordable category .Sites-and-service schemes was conceptualized as one of the sustainable and reliable option for such squatter settlements. Considering the perpetual problem posed growth and mushrooming of slums on the urban landscape, Site and services has been used, as one of the simple and direct option ,to minimize growth of slums and resettle the slum dwellers at minimal cost and minimum effort by involving the beneficiaries and their resources through a system of collaborative and mutually supportive approach. Genesis of the massive support to the site and services scheme was found to be in its capacity to address, effectively and logically, the critical factors which led to mushrooming of slums in urban areas. However, Sites-and-services schemes have also faced considerable opposition and failure . Successes were few and failures have been found to be many. Failure was due to oversimplification of the context of housing and assumptions and misconceptions made regarding the manner in which low-income families house themselves. Scheme worked on the simple premise that once the developed land is made available to the squatters, they shall be able to create an appropriate shelter with the passage of time and availability of resources without any outside guidance, support and services. With several assumptions and misconceptions, sites-and-services projects have been subject to many shortcomings in terms of; conception, execution, identification of beneficiaries, capacity to construct, resources available, need of the space, affordability, implementation of the scheme, relation between place of work and place for living, travel time and cost recovery. Thus, in majority of the cases sites-and-services schemes became an exercise of land speculation and rendered unaffordable or inaccessible by cumbersome bureaucratic procedures, institutional requirements and political interventions. Scheme needs ,realistic and objective, review, revision and redefinition for making it more rational, effective and efficient.
