Podcast appearances and mentions of urban neighborhoods

San Jose, the Bay Area's largest city, grew at the peak of car-heavy, sprawling urban planning. Most of its nearly one million residents live in single-family homes. These days, many California cities are looking for ways to concentrate more residents near transit to reduce carbon emissions, improve livability and address the Bay Area's housing crisis. But even with the best intentions and a new mentality, can cities reinvent sprawl into dense, walkable neighborhoods? We'll talk about San Jose's attempt to shift toward density and what other cities can learn from it. Guests: Adhiti Bandlamudi, housing reporter, KQED Chris Elmendorf, housing professor, University of California, Davis, School of Law Michael Brilliot, deputy director of planning, city of San Jose

Authors Anjuli Fahlberg, Cristiane Martins, Mirian De Andrade, Sophia Costa, and Jacob Portela discuss the article, "The Impact of the Pandemic on Poor Urban Neighborhoods: A Participatory Action Research Study of a “Favela” in Rio de Janeiro" published in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World in March 2023.

A number of major American metropolitan areas are considering the unthinkable:  taking our major Interstate highways that provide access to the city core and restoring a number of neighborhoods that has been damaged as a result of being invaded by a major highway.   Seem far fetched?  Some thirty American cities have simply shut down major stretches of poorly-planned, badly-aging highways.

While gun violence has increased in most cities, Richmond, California, has seen a marked decrease in the last decade thanks to an organization that works with the people most likely to be the victims of gun violence: the shooters themselves. Guest host Dr. Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, talks with DeVone Boggan, founder, and CEO of Advance Peace. They discuss how the organization's fellowship system engages young people involved in lethal firearm offenses, approaches to violence that center wellbeing, and how investment in programs like these translates not only to saving millions of public dollars, but truly disrupting cycles of violence.

Small town Main Streets are great, but here's where they differ from Urban Neighborhoods

Matt Staub (@staubio, TW) expects that in the not-so-distant future urban neighborhoods will see an even greater influx of residents than is already being experienced. The pace of automation replacing traditional jobs will gut rural and exurb towns, driving those residents to nearby metros in search of work. In Staub's opinion, this means we have to think more broadly about the definition of affordable housing. Matt Staub serves as Kansas City Parking and Transportation Chair and Commissioner of the Kansas City Streetcar Authority. He describes himself as an urban advocate and outspoken civic leader, taking a no-nonsense approach to improving the quality of life for citizens and visitors. In this conversation Blake and Matt discuss: The importance of "naturally occurring" affordable housing. What "housing a la carte" means and how it will shape future neighborhoods. The opportunities available to City Planners as the makeup of urban neighborhoods rapidly evolves. We highly recommend following Matt on Twitter, @staubio.  His Instagram, also @staubio, is also full of delightful urban and transportation oriented eye candy.

Couple that with the growing popularity of AirBnB, some hotels are moving into and investing in urban neighborhoods.

Stoker is professor of public policy political science at George Washington University and a member of the faculty of the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Administration. After decades of deindustrialization and population loss, the revitalization of cities has paid scant attention to empowering neighborhoods and neighborhood leaders to move ahead.

Speaker: Dr. Elizabeth Delmelle – Assistant Professor, Dept. of Geography & Earth Sciences, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

August 26, 2014 Until recently, climate change has correlated to polar bears and melting ice caps — heart rending, but safely distant. Yet climate-related extreme weather, combined with urban development, is starting to show its force, as realized by the severe droughts in California and the misery caused to millions of home owners and businesses as a result of urban flooding. With these impacts comes the potential for public mobilization and a renewed focus on the way we plan our towns and cities. But can we channel individual concerns over wet basements and leaky pipes into a broader public participation and advocacy movement? This July, the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) launched Rain Ready (rainready.org), aimed at building an alliance of individuals and communities working together to find solutions to the problems of too much or too little water. Rain Ready is inspired by the growing number of resident actions groups in the Chicago region mobilizing as a result of the impacts of flooding in their area. It seeks to offer a response to their question: "What should we do?" In 2013, CNT launched Wetrofit — the nation's first service for property owners affected by urban flooding, and in 2014, CNT designed and promoted the Urban Flooding Awareness Act, which was passed unanimously by the Illinois General Assembly and requires the State of Illinois to carry out a study on the solutions to urban flooding. In this program, Harriet Festing of CNT presented an overview of her organization's water-related work and discussed opportunities and challenges for planners as they engage their communities around the topic of urban water management.
