Mallory Baches — President of the Congress for the New Urbanism (or, CNU), and urban designer — is in good traffic to hash out the details of the New Urbanism movement, and the overall progression of urban design, urban planning, and urban development in the U.S. We discuss: 00:00 On Mallory, and the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). 04:10 How have urbanism and urban development evolved in the U.S.? 04:43 What is a “congress” for urbanism? 06:06 A background on new urbanism. 08:36 The history and criticism of the New Urbanist movement, and of urban planning movements as a whole. 15:53 On transit-oriented development, and density, in the U.S. 21:06 Southern urbanism: walkable cities in the Sun Belt and American south. 29:12 Selecting cities for an urban planning and design conference. 34:15 A commute into Chicago. A couple of quotes: “Sprawl is continuing. And so 30 years later, [CNU's] mission to reverse that trend is still as important as ever.” “We call ourselves a Congress and we talk about intentionally being based on the idea of debate, exploration, and critique where necessary. That sort of approach to understanding cities is fundamentally evolutionary in nature. “The idea of connecting transit with new development — transit-oriented development, transit-accessible development — there are a lot of acronyms, a lot of ways to describe the idea of designing your mass transportation systems and your higher intensity development to happen in conjunction with each other.” For context: On New Urbanism. On CNU (the organization). On CNU 32 in Cincinnati, Ohio (the annual conference). Connecting with Mallory: On LinkedIn. On Twitter.

Today on the show we have Matthew Lambert. Matthew is a Partner at DPZ CoDesign. The firm has been a leader in the practice of planning and urban design for over 30 years. Their philosophy is the platform of New Urbanism, a movement promoting mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the segregated-use suburban sprawl seen worldwide. As Co-founders of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU), DPZ's principals have been longtime advocates of urban growth through compact, pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and have recently influenced new sustainability codes. In this episode, we learned about the persistent issues that have perpetuated the suburban sprawl movement. We discussed how many of the outdated regulations have led to a car-centric model. Last, but not least, we discussed how individuals and professionals in their community can begin to advocate for developments that are truly equitable and sustainable!

Do you need to become an urban planning professional in order to make more livable cities? Do you need to study civil engineering in order to help design safer neighborhood streets? The answer is, yes sometimes, but not always. The story behind today’s guest, Austin Gibble, will help give you a good example of being both a professional and non-professional. Austin is both an urban professional by day and a non-professional advocate by night, pushing for stronger, more livable urban Indianapolis neighborhoods. Austin is a Project Development Planner at Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) and is also co-leader of Strong Indy, a local conversation of Strong Towns and Midwest chapter of Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). He also grew up on a farm just outside of Indianapolis and he shares his story of how he went from farm boy to city dweller.

Thursday, June 27, 2019, 12 noon WPKN 89.5 FM www.wpkn.org Host: Duo Dickinson In the last few years, we have all heard the word “walkable” used to market homes in cities and towns. It has become a marketing buzzword, used to sell in-town living. But “walkable” used to be the norm in cities and towns. Cars changed that. The Connecticut Turnpike, I-95, opened in 1958, and within a decade its final extension through to Rhode Island and the building of I-91 completely changed Connecticut’s cities. The huge ribbons of concrete and steel cut through these towns, often wrecking neighborhoods. These roads acted as walls, cutting off neighborhoods and ending any connection to the water that created the cities in the first place. This highway invasion changed every city in America, and the Baby Boomers extended the Greatest Generation’s love of suburbia and car-based living in Connecticut by abandoning downtown living. Connecticut’s cities were becoming those places that were not worth arriving at. But in the last decade, there is a new beginning of a dramatic change in how cities are used. Connecticut’s cities and real estate developers are realizing that the appeal of living in a place that is truly “walkable” has real value – to both retiring Baby Boomers who do not want to mow lawns, and their offspring, the Millenials do not want to even own a car, let alone a home. What is the future of living, at HOME, in downtown America? Three thought leaders will be online for this hour: Robert Orr is an architect and a renowned town-planner with more than forty years national and international experience. With projects at Seaside, and the New Hartford Library, Camp Anne and commercial, institutional and community projects, as well as custom residential homes, Orr’s role as urban designer has a depth of perspective few others can offer. Robert Orr has been honored with many design awards and featured in hundreds of publications at home and abroad. John Massengale has won awards for architecture, urbanism, architectural history, and historic preservation, from organizations and publications ranging from Progressive Architecture and Metropolitan Home, to the National Book Award Foundation (with the first architectural history book to win a National Book Award), to several chapters of the American Institute of Architects, and the Walton Family Foundation. He has served on the Boards of the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), the Institute for Classical Art & Architecture (ICAA), and Federated Conservationists of Westchester County (FCWC), and was the founding Chair of both CNU NYC and CNU New York (the state chapter). Massengale has taught at the ICAA, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Miami and is a licensed architect in New York State. Steve Mouzon opened his own architecture firm in 1991 and produces a number of town-building tools and services. Mouzon Design’s Premium Tools Collection is a subscription service to robust new place-making tools that heretofore were unaffordable when commissioned by a single development. A Living Tradition is a framework for a new type of pattern book that is principle-based instead of taste-based, and therefore contributes to the creation of new living traditions. Steve is also a principal of the New Urban Guild in Miami. The New Urban Guild is a group of architects, designers, and other New Urbanists dedicated to the study and the design of true traditional buildings and places native to and inspired by the regions in which they are built.

David Rodriguez, LEED AP BD+C has a philosophy that provides, in principle, buildable, practical projects with a sense of aesthetics and belonging. David grew up in Panama spending a lot of summers in Europe.  He received his Bachelor's degree in Architecture and his Master's degree from the University of Notre Dame.  He returned to Panama and eventually started Rodriguez and Toledo Architecture and Design in 2007. “Sustainable architecture focuses on the commitment to minimize the environmental impact of the projects we design and develop on the environment for present and future generations. This commitment is applied at the urban level following the principles of design and development of communities according to the Charter of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU)  and architectural level respect the success of the traditional architecture of each region and implement practices and materials that reduce the impact environmental project according to the parameters established by the LEED certification of the USGBC.” - David Rodriguez   Sustainability Minded David was not really aware of sustainability when he was growing up.  While he studied at the University of Notre Dame, he became aware of varying levels of sustainability through the curriculum that was taught.  David became sustainability minded during his studies later in life. “If this awareness, this efficiency of how things are grown, how you have an alive city, etc. There was  varying reign as part of the culture of the curriculum in terms of trying to leave a better world that when you started with.” - David Rodriguez   Mentors David mentions two  mentors. Michael who was a dean of the school of architecture at the University of Notre Dame.  Michael was David's thesis professor and he was really good about showing you what you do transcends beyond just the immediate.  He also emphasized trying to leave a legacy for the world. David's other mentor was an urbanist and was a really good friend for over 20 years and first boss after college, Victor Dover. He works with CNU and urban design and urban planning.   “My parents have always had really good values in terms of having a notion of what's around me and the world.  And even my first few summer jobs that I had really good bosses that gave me really good examples of good work ethics and tried to leave a good legacy.” - David Rodriguez   Proudest Achievement One of David's proudest achievements was working in a hope six project, which was a social housing project in Tacoma, Washington.  The project won numerous awards both in sustainability and smart living. “I was the lead designer for that project when I was working in Washington DC and this is right before I left for Panama.  So I really felt proud that I ended up my 11 year stay in the US with something that left a legacy here.” - David Rodriguez   Palmer Green Building Council Founder When David first founded the Palmer Green Building Council they had around 4 LEED AP and had just come from the US with some experience.  Others had just received their certification. The only project that had been completed was the US Embassy by US staff and professional. “And what we find incredible is that nine years later we have a green building council that has about 130 members, both enterprises and people.  We have over 35 certified projects, some even high profile in terms of mags, laboratories, the general facilities. And you have a movement where we have been able to certify over a hundred people in terms of LEED green associates.” - David Rodriguez     Book Recommendations Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman The Original Green: Unlocking the Mystery of True Sustainability by Stephen A.

This is our first dispatch from the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), which took place in Savannah, Georgia in May. Chuck Marohn attended CNU and hosted a series of in-depth podcast conversations about some of the most pressing topics for cities today, with leaders, thinkers, and activists in a whole range of fields. Now we're bringing those podcasts to your ears throughout the summer. Today's podcast guest is Monte Anderson, a developer based in Texas and a leader of the Incremental Development Alliance.  Monte encourages people to pick a place they love and stay there. That's how you really learn what communities need and how to make them better. And that's what he did by choosing to incrementally improve his hometown. Questions discussed in this podcast include: What if your town seems past the point of getting better? Should you stay anyway? What needs to happen in order to encourage development in our towns?  How do you respond to people who worry that the removal of parking minimums will be harmful to local businesses? What's the best sort of business to kickstart a commercial street? How do we reconcile the desire to be flexible and encourage new business start-ups, especially in poor neighborhoods, while still ensuring that buildings are safe and basic health codes are met? What are the first steps someone should take if they want to become an incremental developer? What if you don't have much money? How do you find a balance between investing in a neighborhood and not pricing people out of it? What's the difference between a developer and an investor?

Topic:Smart Growth and Livable Communities Series – active transportation and community design Guest:https://infiniteearthradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/katz-resized.jpg ()Peter Katz has been a leader in advancing innovative approaches to community planning and transportation for more than a quarter century. He helped to catalyze the New Urbanism movement, first as author of The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community, and later as founding director of the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). At CNU, Katz set up a strategic partnership with the US Department of Housing & Urban Development that led the agency to adopt more neighborhood-oriented development models. He was recently named a fellow of CNU in recognition of his contributions to the New Urbanism movement. As consultant to government, public agencies, and private-sector clients, Katz addresses real-world needs with state-of-the-art strategies. He was lead advisor to local redevelopment officials on the highly successful Contra Costa Centre Transit Village (American Planning Association National Award Winner, 2012). Organization:https://infiniteearthradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Logo-for-paste-PNG-SM-MED.png ()GoTRANS, a recently formed nonprofit organization, is building a community of car-free and car-light individuals and families across the United States. It provides a range of consumer and municipal supports to advance the use of active transportation (walking and bicycling), public transportation and other shared-mobility formats. Through its programs, products and services, GoTRANS seeks to lower the cost of urban living for families that would otherwise “drive until they qualify” for car-dependent housing at the suburban edge.

Houston has taken center stage as a city deeply impacted by Hurricane Harvey, but small towns in Texas were also devastated by this hurricane and resultant flooding. It's often the smaller towns that struggle the most to properly plan and fund their rebuilding efforts because they lack the amount of staff and varied expertise to handle challenges of this magnitude. At Strong Towns, we care about the fate of these communities and we want to help them rebuild in a way that doesn't just repair damage from wind and flood but also makes them stronger towns over the long haul. That's why, together with the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), Local Government Commission, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, we are supporting Collaborative Communities' efforts to deploy Free Assistance Support Teams (FAST) to small communities affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas.  Through the FAST program, municipal governments will receive free assistance to ensure they have the necessary tools and information to adequately prepare for the FEMA Project Worksheet process. The goal is for this model to become a national program that can be applied in future disasters to help towns grow strong for years to come. Want to learn more about this effort and how you can get involved? In this short podcast conversation with Laura Clemons, who is leading the program, you'll hear about her organization, what they're doing in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, and how you can help.

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.
