Louisville Metro Government is leading a plan to advance quick-term action projects for streets in Downtown and NuLu, intended to promote walkability and safety for pedestrians and to serve as a blueprint for capital improvement projects over the next several years. The public was invited to come be a part of this planning effort by joining this open house and kickoff of the plan activities - featuring a presentation from Jeff Speck from Metro's planning consultant team! So listen in as renowned urban planner and author Jeff Speck shared his insights on reimagining downtown Louisville through the lens of walkability and why fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment is imperative for a flourishing city. The evening kicked off with Joel from Stantech. Jeff Speck is a city planner and author who advocates internationally for more walkable cities.

In Episode 60, Carter talks with Andrés Duany who, along with his wife, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, is the founding partner DPZ CoDesign. DPZ is best known for the “rediscovery” of neighborhood structures which influenced the design of Seaside, the acclaimed project renowned for its traditional town plan, streetscapes, meeting places and buildings. Following up on Seaside, the firm proposed a re-integration of urban components within traditional neighborhood development which became the model for regulation of compact mixed use neighborhood developments throughout the Country. In this episode, you'll learn: What is traditional neighborhood development (TND). How Seaside came about and how DPZ approached the planning and design effort. Lessons learned from the planning and buildout of Seaside. How TND applies to larger master planned developments. How TNDs can assist in combating NIMBYism and garner jurisdictional approvals.   Show Notes DPZ CoDesign Contact Information - https://www.dpz.com/contact/ Seaside Link - https://www.dpz.com/projects/seaside/ Playa Vista Link - https://www.dpz.com/projects/playa-vista/ Lexicon - https://www.dpz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Lexicon-2014.pdf Complimentary Offers for Land to Lots™ Listeners Complimentary Bond Sizing Analysis: Get all the shownotes here Learn more about Launch Development Finance Advisors Connect with Carter Froelich Connect With Launch Development Finance Advisors Carter Froelich – 480-828-9555 / carter@launch-dfa.com Carter Froelich hosts the Land to Lots™ podcast powered by Launch Development Finance Advisors.

Responding to the modern development of unchecked placeless suburban sprawl, and the disinvestment of inner city centers, a group of architects, led by couple Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Andres Duany, launched a movement with the intention of a radical paradigm shift in the way we conceive urbanism and urban planning. Termed New Urbanism, accompanied by the Charter for New Urbanism released in 1999, this movement advocated for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments and the preservation of our built legacy. Although sounding well-intentioned, the goal of New Urbanism is a retreat and renewal of planned communities of the early 1900's. We argue that by retreating to this form of “traditional” community design, new urbanists brought back romanticized notions of the earliest American colonies and by doing so reinforced settler colonial narratives of land acquisition and white placemaking.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is Jeff Speck. Jeff is the author of Walkable City and Walkable City Rules. As an urban planner and city designer he specializes in, and advocates for, human modes of transportation: first and foremost walking, but also biking. Become a Patreon Supporter Using years of research and action, Jeff shows how cities become better places when we move away from an automobile-focused life. As I spend a lot of my time walking through cities whenever I get a chance, preferring to travel on foot when possible, I knew there were some places that felt safer as a pedestrian and were generally more enjoyable to walk through. Jeff lays out exactly why that is, and what each of us can do to advocate for these changes in our local towns and cities. In the process we can limit gentrification, which Jeff expands on during the interview, making cities even friendlier to people and more sustainable for generations to come. You can find Jeff and his book at JeffSpeck.com. In addition to his website, I've included copious links in the resources section below for you to learn more about what we talked about in this interview. Since recording this conversation, I've gone on to read Jeff's Walkable City Rules, which lays out in even more actionable detail what we can do to show up at planning meetings and be a force for change while preserving mainstreet and reducing the impacts of climate change. As permaculture practitioners, our roles in cities and towns change towards an even more human focus to minimize the impacts of this increased living density on the surrounding environment and designing for living in place. For those of us who live in cities, and I'll be doing so in just a few weeks as I relocate to Falls Church, Virginia, there's a huge intersection between city planning, including the parks and rec departments, for us to get involved and take direct action through advocacy. We can argue for why we need to reduce speed limits, increase street trees, and expand green spaces. Image the more beautiful, verdant world we could have. But, that's just my thoughts on leaving this interview with Jeff Speck. What are yours? Leave a comment in the show notes or get in touch by sending me an email: The Permaculture Podcast Until the next time, spend each day advocating for the place you live while taking care of Earth, yourself, and each other.

In this episode Chris Barras, the Lead Pastor of Area 10 Faith Community shares about the entrepreneurial heart and spirit that drives how his church has taken shape in their neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. Coming from a background in management at Starbucks, Chris has an ethos for developing "third places," a term coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg to refer to the places you spend time outside of your home and your work. In other words, the place where you meet with friends and neighbors.The church meets at the Byrd Theater, a historic theater in the heart of the neighborhood. Renting this space for their main worship service has both freed and forced the church to be creative in the ways they find and use ancillary space for church ministry and needs. With a need for Sunday nursery space, but not wanting to have an empty storefront for the rest of the week, the church opened Coffee & Cartwheels, a combination coffee shop and indoor playspace that both adults and kids can enjoy.Additionally, the church has now opened 2810, a community gathering space that houses church offices and places for their small groups to meet, but operates as a public event and meeting rental space throughout most of the week. Chris also shares about some of the general business mechanics of starting LLCs and managing these spaces.The episode wraps up with a discussion of the loneliness that Chris encounters in Richmond and a call for churches to develop places for people in their communities to connect and talk with one another.Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Related ResourcesCities of God by Rodney StarkThe Great Good Place by Ray OldenburgHome from Nowhere by James Howard KunstlerSidewalks in the Kingdom by Eric O.

On this episode, Eric O. Jacobsen, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church Tacoma and our very own co-host of The Embedded Church Podcast and author of Sidewalks in the Kingdom and The Space Between, shares with us about the small steps his church is taking in Tacoma, Washington, to care for their neighborhood. By identifying the 99 buildings and businesses that are situated within a 1/8-mile radius or the “pedestrian shed” of the church property, they have developed a weekly practice of highlighting a specific building and committing to pray for the flourishing of that particular site, owner, and business.Drawing on his own experience of living in walkable places, Eric also talks about being a pastor who walks and the implications this has had on developing relationships, slowing down time, and opening up space for ministry in sometimes unexpected ways.“We did a lot of work cultivating an attitude that we call ‘inside-out.' We wanted to be a church that cares as much about what's going on outside in our neighborhood as what's going on inside our church.”Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Related ResourcesThe Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane JacobsGeography of Nowhere by James Howard KunstlerSuburban Nation by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, & Jeff SpeckWalkable City by Jeff SpeckCongress for the New UrbanismFind these key terms on The Embedded Church website:· Pedestrian Shed· Traditional Neighborhood Planning· Walkability· ZoningShow CreditsHosted and Produced by Eric O.

Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk is a pioneering urban planner, architect, and educator. She has been instrumental in developing the City of Miami’s form-based zoning code, Miami 21. Her recent work and teaching focuses on built environment adaptation to climate change.

“There are places we love, and places we hate…at a certain point, we made it illegal to make the places we love anymore, and we were only allowed to make the places we hate.”So says Jeff Speck, one of North America’s top urban designers, and a leader of the new urbanism movement, in a recent visit — his first — to Vancouver.As co-author of 2010’s Suburban Nation with his mentors Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk (of architecture and town planning firm DPZ Partners), Speck reached a new level of mainstream urban nerd renown in 2012 with Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time.Next came its follow-up, a tactical guide for planners, activists, and even the odd engineer, 2018’s Walkable City Rules: 101 Steps to Making Better Places. As part of a speaking tour to promote the book, Speck accepted an invitation from Canada Lands Company and MST Development Corporation to make his first visit to Vancouver, and present at the Inspire Jericho Talks series on May 23.As a sneak preview, he joined us for a Price Talks soiree, our third such live recording with Gord and friends. Speck covers a variety of topics, including: the formative roles played by Duany and Plater-Zyberk and their early work at Miami-based Arquitectonica in influencing his career choice and trajectory; his early interest in helping to recreate Florida’s throwback vernacular architecture (think Seaside, the un-ironic setting for The Truman Show); the bad news about ride hailing…and the worse news about autonomous vehicles; and, of course, what he means by ‘deep walkability’.“My audiences tend to self-select”, he says modestly — and while this may be true of his clients, once the The Wall Street Journal calls one of your books “the urbanist’s bible”, such self-effacing statements no longer hold water.Turning Speck’s own words back on him — if you’re interested in urban design, find this guy.

Jeff Speck is an unlikely disruptor. He is an urban planner, which is probably also the least likely candidate for a conversation about disruption. In the podcast we explore three things he and others in his field are working to disrupt. No city has become great by trying to solve a parking problem. So he is disrupting the idea that addressing traffic and parking will help to make for a great city. Much of his work is make cities walkable. Jeff is the author of the book, “Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time”. He argues that we know how to make cities livable and walkable, but it is often difficult to convince decision-makers to mobilize the resources that help make cities walkable. On the show, we explore how built form often determines the quality of life within cities.During the podcast, we focus a lot on how so of his work involves educating clients. Many of the approaches to improving walkability in cities is counter intuitive. There is considerable evidence that creating narrow roads actually reduces traffic in cities. We cover a lot in the podcast and mention many other City Planners who are doing very interesting.

Jeff Speck is an unlikely disruptor. He is an urban planner, which is probably also the least likely candidate for a conversation about disruption. In the podcast we explore three things he and others in his field are working to disrupt. No city has become great by trying to solve a parking problem. So he is disrupting the idea that addressing traffic and parking will help to make for a great city. Much of his work is make cities walkable.

Imagine a place where you can stroll down the sidewalk, wave to your neighbors on their porch, then pick up your dry cleaning or have lunch at the café. That’s the kind of walkable, compact, mixed-use community envisioned by the founders of New Urbanism—including Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. But some people say there’s a reason one of Plater-Zyberk’s developments played a starring role in a memorable Hollywood film about overly constructed reality.

A walking tour exploring the history and design of the town of Seaside, Florida. The celebrated town is a milestone in town planning that led to the creation of the Congress for the New Urbanism and the idea that development should consider how people live and work, provide alternatives to driving, and reflect the local environment. Seaside was founded by Robert and Daryl Davis with a masterplan by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. The 75-minute tour includes information on the history of the town, the story behind its creation, and a 1 ½ mile guided walk that points out the masterplan’s features and the town’s notable architecture.

#247 -- Celebrating the 20thth anniversary of the publication of The Geography of Nowhere (and release for the first time of an E-book edition), JHK yaks with New Urbanist Andres Duany about the campaign to create more walkable communities and places worth caring about. Duany came to the USA as a child from Cuba in the late 1950s. He got his architecture degrees from Princeton and Yale. He formed the firm DPZ in Miami with his wife Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and together they produced the most iconic projects of the New Urbanism (Seaside, Florida, and many others) as well as leading a movement to reform the suburban fiasco and all its governing regulations. The KunstlerCast music is “Adam and Ali’s Waltz” from the recording Waiting to Fly by Mike and Ali Vass.

James Howard Kunstler says one reason why American cities are so dirty is because we do not have a firm agreement about how to treat the public realm in this country. He believes that people will literally trash a place that they don't like or respect. And a lot of American space is difficult to respect. While suburbia contains meticulously groomed private yards, the public highways are often lined with impressive amounts of trash on the shoulder. On a larger scale, many corporations treat the American landscape with a similar disregard. While Kunstler believes that large scale pollution from mega corporations may taper off with the cheap oil supply, he thinks local manufacturing in the future might reintroduce forms of pollution that haven't been seen in the U.S. for a while.

James Howard Kunstler is back from a visit to the American South. He reports on two New Urbanist developments outside of Montgomery, Alabama. In many ways Kunstler believes that the new urbanist model of building 400-acre “traditional neighborhoods” out in the green fields of suburbia is over. He explains the relationship between new urbanism, suburbanism and just plain old urbanism. Kunstler’s journey also took him to revisit Seaside, Florida, one of the most famous new urbanist projects produced by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. Many people criticize Seaside for being elite and artificial. But Kunstler says Seaside will probably feel more authentic as it ages naturally. Released: Feb. 12, 2009.
