Mitchell Silver is one of the most acclaimed urban planners of our time. We sat down with him to talk about his planning life, his stint running the New York City Parks Department, and his current efforts in the consluting word. Few planners share Mitchell's devotion to their craft like him and we had a wonderful time discussing the attributes that make a good planner, what the next generation can teach and learn, and how our nation's park and green spaces should be planned to maximize their value and optimize our health. Support the showOur Website: https://theplanningcommissionpodcast.com/YouTube: The Planning Commission Podcast channelInstagram: @theplanningcommissionpodcastFacebook: The Planning Commission Podcast pageTwitter: @planningcommish Subscribe, like, help us make a difference in the profession we all love.

In 1923, Jewish union activists affiliated with the Workmen's Circle bought a plot of land in Hopewell Junction, New York, aiming to provide working-class children with an escape from the city. The camp, which was founded with a commitment to Yiddish and to instilling leftist values, broke with the socialist Workmen's Circle several years later, as it came to be affiliated with the Communist Party. Over the years, everything that touched the left made its mark on the camp—from the Spanish Civil War to McCarthyism to the emergence of the New Left. In honor of Kinderland's centennial, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel spoke with longtime Kinderlanders (and JC councilmembers) Judee Rosenbaum and Mitchell Silver about the legacy of Communism in camp, the difference between education and indoctrination, what's changed at camp in the last 100 years, and why it's survived this long.

Mitchell Silver, now Principal of Urban Planning at McAdams, explores the lasting impact of work-from-home and the recovery of our urban fabric post-pandemic. In this week's rebroadcast, I brought Mitchell back to revisit our original podcast episode together from two years ago.

The notion of what our city's parks can and should be has been undergoing a dramatic makeover in recent years, and New York City is leading by example. NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J.Silver has over 30 years experience in planning and is internationally recognized for his contributions to contemporary planning issues. In this episode Mitchell discusses the comprehensive planning, place making and implementation strategies he has put forth to both modernize existing NYC parks as well as reclaim & transform post-industrial sites into new playgrounds, beaches and wilderness areas.

It's not hyperbole to say Mitchell Silver is one of the most experienced, most respected city planners in the world. And for a second time, we've got him right here in Raleigh.Silver helped develop Raleigh's comprehensive plan as its chief planning officer before moving to New York City to serve as Commissioner of the Department of Parks and Recreation. Now he's returned to Raleigh as a principal at McAdams, but his passion for making Raleigh the best city it can be hasn't changed. Hear his thoughts on the comprehensive plan then and now, what he's learned about parks, and what Raleigh needs (water! Capital Boulevard improvements!) most right now.Please support the businesses who support us: Papa Murphy's Take N Bake Pizza of Wake County and Steele Residential.Subscribe to Podcast Raleigh on your favorite podcast sites so you never miss an episode, and if you enjoy it we'd love for you to rate or read a comment:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-raleigh/id1458907220Google: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Inzk5woxrsjwf3zhd5vv3av4yeiStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcast-raleighSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6b3dVvLJfO0EqvDGQaFTAP

Season 2 concludes with running enthusiast and urban planner Mitchell Silver. When Mayor Bill de Blasio named Mitchell as New York City's Parks Commissioner, he called him “a visionary.” The Mayor went on to say: “He has a passion for fairness and equality. He understands that we have to ensure that parks and open spaces are available in every community and are well-maintained in every neighborhood in this city.” At NYC Parks, MItchell streamlined the capital process by 6 months allowing the public to enjoy renovated parks sooner. He introduced a new public realm strategy called “Parks without Borders,” launched a capital project tracking system and initiated a Framework for an Equitable Future to improve the parks system that included a $318 million campaign to transform 67 of the City's most neglected parks. The $50 million “Parks Without Borders” program earned national and international recognition for its innovative approach to urban design and helped make parks safer and more accessible. Both the Community Parks Initiative and Parks without Borders is being replicated in the United States and abroad. Follow his story on IG @mitchell_silver.

WUNC's Kamaya Truitt talks with Mitchell Silver, former city planner for Raleigh, about the city's growth in the last decade, and how policies like zoning laws influence that community growth.

Mitchell Silver's drive and determination is the kind of story that inspires generations. The kid from Brooklyn who dropped out of high school after just two years, made his way back to earn degrees in architecture and urban planning, the first black president of the American Planning Association to then become New York City Parks Commissioner. His road had many turns and valleys, and deeply marked by the his mother's death at a young age, and the death of his brother and best friend Sam as an adult. His legacy as a runner and Parks and Recreations Commissioner will be felt for generations to come. His goal at the helm of the agency was to make public spaces more equitable. His decision to rename the Central Park loop after Ted Corbitt, the co-founder of New York Road Runners and its first and only black president is one of the many outdoor spaces he renamed under his tenure. Silver is training for the Chicago and New York City marathons in 2021, and memories of running with Harlem Run and the diverse NYC running community is what keeps him going.

When this episode airs, we will be exactly a week away from the 2021 NRPA Annual Conference, taking place both virtually and in Nashville, Tennessee. It's going to be three dynamic days of learning, networking, inspiring conversation and so much more, and I can't wait until things get started next Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm honored to chat with someone today who I have been meaning to invite on the podcast for a while now. Mitchell Silver recently wrapped up a seven-year tenure as parks commissioner for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, and he is an award-winning planner with more than 35 years of experience. And as of August, he is principal and vice president of urban planning for McAdams, where he is responsible for providing advisory services in urban planning, land-use, parks and public space planning with an emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion.  Simply put, Silver is a community builder and internationally recognized leader who has made invaluable contributions to the field of parks and recreation, and I'm thrilled to welcome him today to chat about his career, and possibly get a sneak peek at his keynote presentation on day two of the NRPA Annual Conference next week. Tune in to the full episode below to learn more about Silver, his extensive career and the importance of creating a culture of care. You'll also learn: How Silver's background in planning helped redefine NYC Parks, especially in service of equity. Why he thinks parks are the heart of a city. What he's done right throughout his career, and what he may have done differently. How he reassured his staff that the culture he created will continue beyond him serving as commissioner. Why parks and recreation should be part of a city's healthcare system, and more!

Not only has Mitchell Silver prioritized equitable access to the 14% of NYC land that encompasses its parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities in his role as commissioner of NYC Parks and Recreation, but he's endeavored to make the spaces a place for joy and healing.

Página do episódio no site para ler a descrição completa: http://5ponto8.fireside.fm/10 Por ser uma tradição que enfatiza tanto a ação, às vezes o judaísmo se parece com uma anti-religião, uma tradição religiosa que dá pouco espaço à teologia e às discussões filosóficas. E, mesmo assim, são inúmeras as contribuições do judaísmo à filosofia e vice-versa, de Philo de Alexandria, ainda no primeiro século antes da Era Comum, passando por Maimônides e por Baruch Spinoza, pelos cabalistas e pelos mestres chassídicos, não nos faltaram grandes filósofos, que nos fizeram repensar o judaísmo, nossa relação com a tradição e nosso papel no mundo. Neste episódio vamos falar sobre as pontes entre filosofia e judaísmo com Francisco Moreno e com Ruben Sternschein.

Interview with Mitchell Silver of NYC Dept. of Parks & Recreation by Creative Loafing Atlanta

Mitchell Silver is a guy who loves a plan; especially when it involves public parks and recreational spaces. As an internationally-renowned planning expert and as the guy who oversees thousands of hectares of parkland as New York City’s Parks Commissioner, he understands the challenges and importance for global cities in balancing population growth and green open spaces for the community.

Mitchell Silver, FAICP, thinks parks are more than just islands of green spaces — much, much more. As Commissioner of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Mitch makes it his mission to understand how people use these critical urban spaces, and he aims to ensure that children, adults, seniors, and everyone in between have access to a quality 21st-century park system. Courtney caught up with Mitch during the 2018 National Planning Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the two discussed not only how he was shaped by a childhood spent blocks away from Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, but also how seriously he takes public engagement when working with residents on park projects. He touches on some of the initiatives under way in his department and highlights a few of the less well-known examples of park success stories in New York City, including St. Mary's Park in the Bronx and Highbridge Park, home to the city’s oldest standing bridge. Mitch reflects on his time in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he served as Chief Planning & Development Officer and Planning Director and sought to encourage growth in a community once hesitant to change. He also shares his views on equity, which he defines simply as fairness, in a bid to eliminate the jargon planners can sometimes employ when discussing the subject.
