MORE SESSION DETAILS
Livable communities programs are being established by a growing number of regional planning agencies to advance local implementation of land-use and transportation practices that support regional goals. Innovative Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are establishing broader goals and inserting new criteria, performance measures, and communications protocols into familiar functions to leverage the connection between land-use and transportation planning, and harness its ability to foster safer, more inclusive, and more prosperous places. A major focus of the APA Regional and Intergovernmental Division, these livable communities programs are modifying decision-making processes and using more holistic criteria to fund non-traditional projects like those to update local street design and zoning, expand affordable housing in transit station areas, provide direct technical assistance to communities where implementation activities can advance local and regional goals simultaneously, and hold regional agencies publicly accountable for measurable outcomes. Following an overview of livable communities programs in three metro areas, participants will be engaged in moderated discussion to clarify, augment, and apply these models and lessons to other regions both large and small.
