Podcast appearances and mentions of Urban sprawl

Welcome back to another episode of Talk Property To Me! I'm your host, Brad East, alongside my co-host, Aaron Downie. In today's episode, we dive into seven significant trends reshaping the property market as we look ahead to 2025. We kick off the discussion by highlighting the rise of millennials as the largest adult cohort in Australia. This demographic shift is crucial as millennials have different preferences compared to previous generations, particularly when it comes to property. They are leaning towards smaller homes closer to urban centers, which ties into our fourth trend: shrinking backyards. We explore how the desire for lifestyle options and proximity to amenities is influencing property demand and supply dynamics. Next, we discuss the concept of stepping stones in home ownership. With the market becoming increasingly challenging to navigate, many are opting for smaller apartments or townhouses as a way to enter the property market, rather than waiting to save for their dream home. We emphasize that for first-time buyers, this is often just the beginning of their property journey. We then delve into new pathways for home ownership, including government schemes aimed at assisting first-time buyers. While we acknowledge the potential of co-buying and rent-to-own models, we express scepticism about their long-term viability as primary market drivers. Instead, we highlight the importance of investment strategies that allow buyers to explore properties in different locations, potentially leading to better long-term outcomes. As we move through the trends, we touch on the growing demand for green homes. With millennials increasingly conscious of climate change and energy costs, features like solar panels and smart home technology are becoming essential for many buyers. We discuss how these elements can significantly impact property value and buyer interest. The conversation shifts to urban sprawl, where we note that metropolitan areas are expanding outward. This trend is largely driven by affordability, as buyers seek homes that offer a balance between distance from the city and access to amenities. Finally, we address the rise of renters in the current market. With home ownership rates declining, we see a growing number of renters, which presents unique opportunities for property investors. We discuss how this trend can drive up rental returns and create a competitive landscape for investment. In conclusion, we summarize these seven trends and encourage our listeners to consider them when developing their property strategies for the coming year. We invite feedback and suggestions for future topics, reminding everyone to like, subscribe, and join us for our next episode.

What if your city wasn't just a place to live, but a tool to keep you healthy? Dr. Avi Friedman, Professor of Architecture at McGill University, and Alexandra Pollock, landscape designer and urban planner, discuss how our cities impact our health—and how they can be redesigned for a better future. Avi and Alexandra dive into the concept of cities as “exercise machines,” where walkable streets, green spaces, and accessible design promote both physical and mental well-being. They explore how planning for “15-minute cities” can combat urban sprawl, reduce isolation, and bring communities together, all while tackling environmental challenges.Read Fundamentals of Planning Cities for Healthy Living (Anthem Press, 2023).Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

Your host, Clinton Wilkins recaps this year's conversations with Todd Veinotte on the housing market in Halifax. Clinton reminds us of the need for densification due to urban sprawl and limited land availability. In 2024 we have multiple offers, but less frequently as in 2021-2022. Prefabricated homes are considered a potential solution to reduce housing costs, with economies of scale and controlled environments being key.  Clinton recaps his conversation earlier this year with local realtor James Dwyer who notes a 20% increase in listings and sales, with entry-level properties remaining competitive. 

With the rise of suburban sprawl and city planning that has prioritized car travel above all else, modern American cities seriously lack comfortable walking and biking infrastructure. It's a massive issue - but solutions do exist and importantly, those solutions are decidedly doable. Today we are so thrilled to be speaking with Jeff Speck, a city planner, who is widely known for his work advocating for and creating more walkable cities. His book, Walkable City, first published in 2012, has been translated into seven languages and is the best selling city planning book of the 21st century. Walkable City is also a winner of the Green Prize for Sustainable Literature.Jeff believes that a thriving city is a walkable city, where cars are instruments for freedom but aren't necessary for the day-to-day basics of living. We would also add that walkable cities are fundamentally biophilic because livability and wellness are at the core of biophilia. In this episode, we chat with Jeff about making cities more walkable, the economic benefits of walkable cities, and demanding more of our environments. Shownotes Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time 10th Anniversary Edition by Jeff SpeckThe Smart Growth Manual by Jeff SpeckWalkable City Rules by Jeff SpeckSuburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream by Jeff Speck The walkable city (TED Talk)4 ways to make a city more walkable (TED Talk)Street Fight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution by Janette Sadik-Khan and Seth SolomonowConfessions of a Recovering Engineer by Charles L.

The Spadina Expressway was one of five urban highways that were nearly built in Toronto in the 70s. The plan would have bulldozed neighbourhoods so that suburban commuters had a direct route to drive downtown. But campaigners like Bobbi Speck and Jane Jacobs stopped it, saving iconic neighbourhoods like The Annex. Today, Toronto is one of the worst cities in the world for traffic. Should the expressway have been built anyway? We tell the story of the grassroots movement to stop Spadina with the people who were there firsthand. Does the movement perhaps offer tips on how to solve Toronto's notoriously bad traffic?

A discussion on the consequences of unplanned residential and commercial development or urban sprawl. Is the marketplace always correct, or are developers and consumers often making decisions under "bounded rationality"?

Thoughtful and creative design can change the world, from the products we use every day to innovative and climate-resilient buildings, to entire cities that prioritize the health and vitality of the people who live in them. Our guest today is Dr. Ellen Bassett, the John Portman Dean of the College of Design at Georgia Tech, where such innovation is taking place on a daily basis. Ellen's background lies in urban planning with areas of expertise in land use planning and law, sustainability, health and the built environment, and international development particularly in the Global South. In this interview, Monica and Jennifer catch up with Ellen about where her interest in urban planning began, the importance of using biophilic design across disciplines, and the impactful years she spent abroad working in Kenya. Show NotesAbout Ellen BassettEllen Bassett ResearchGeorgia Tech College of DesignConversations with Cabrera: Ellen Bassett (YouTube)Solar Decathlon SimTrigate Design Lab, School of Architecture, Georgia TechFront Lawns, Biodiversity, and Bylaws with Nina Marie Lister (Biophilic Solutions)Atlanta BeltlineKey Words: Georgia Tech, Design, College of Design, Urban Planning, Land Use, Land Planning, Land Law, Kenya, Africa, Architecture, Built Environment, Urban Sprawl, Atlanta, Nature, Nature Based Solutions, Climate Change, Climate Resilience, Biophilia, Biophilic Design 

I think we can all agree that music is timeless, and thus we can forgive Joey for taking four months to edit this episode.  Our hosts Joey, Dylan, and Patrick love timeless music, such as music by Scarlett Rae, Island of Love, Hotline TNT, Urban Sprawl, Glaas, Dummy, Snooper, Meat House, Caveman Cult, Milorganaut, Muscle Worship, and Obits. Degenerate Synapse is just okay. Enjoy the episode.

San Jose is the most populated Bay Area city with a million residents. Yet, for a city its size, it feels pretty spread out. And that's not great for climate change or population growth. This week we're sharing an episode of the podcast Sold Out from our colleagues at KQED. Reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi takes stock of why San Jose is a so characterized by urban sprawl, and how the city is looking at ways to build for a denser, greener future.

Johnny Verell's farming operation is expanding. Unfortunately, so is Jackson, Tennessee — the city whose sprawl of suburbs and commercial development is knocking on Johnny's door. Johnny explains his strategy to survive, or even thrive, when bulldozers and concrete trucks roll into fields he once farmed. (He's lost 350 acres to development in his backyard, yet he's still growing!) A few of Mr. Verell's tips: Stay in good graces with landlords to partner with them on transitioning to future land purchases after they sell to developers. Maximize the acres you don't lose to development to fully utilize your equipment and infrastructure investments. Lastly, Inform the community of the economic role of Agriculture — Johnny volunteers to speak at the annual Jackson Chamber of Commerce meeting!

Our guest today is Mike Millman, mayor of Woodinville, WA -- a growing suburbia outside of Seattle. Mike joins us to share his life of civic service  as a long time firefighter in Everett, fire commissioner for Woodinville and volunteer of Woodiville's city planning committee. Later recruited to fill a role on city council and eventually elected Mayor of Woodinville. King County otherwise known as outside Seattle is facing massive population growth and therefore, new infrastructure demands. Woodinville, and locations of the like, feel like they are bursting at the seams in regards to the flow of foot and car traffic. Millman talks about local government, city planning and upgrades to the area that will help unburden locals. Normally, we hear these conversations around the dinner table as complaints and frustrations. This refreshing take on city growth and progress gives the audience a look at how areas outside larger cities manage and evolve due to urban sprawl. Doubly refreshing to hear from a local politician who sincerely cares for the future vision of his home and families in the area. We hope you enjoy today's episode.

County Lines is WYSO's series focusing on small towns and rural communities in the greater Dayton area. Funded by a grant from Ohio Humanities, Community Voices producer Renee Wilde travels down the highways and back roads to tell stories of country life that go beyond the stereotypes. This week, hear three short stories from County Lines about Ohio's rural-urban divide and the spaces in between. Listen to more stories from the series at wyso.org/county-lines.Act 1: Although the term Urban Sprawl was coined in the 1930's, by the ‘70's, it was a hot topic, as increasingly more rural areas, and farmland, were divided up and paved over into strip malls and subdivisions. This spreading ring around our cities where urban sprawl is happening is officially known as the Rural-Urban Fringe. Today on County Lines, producer Renee Wilde takes us there.Act 2: Looking out over the rolling farm fields from the front porch of his 94 acre farm in Gambier, located in Knox county, former Kenyon College professor and former Director of the Rural Life Center, Howard Sacks reflects on what the definition of rural character is, and what it means to him.Act 3: Steven Conn, the W.E. Smith Professor of History at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is a regular contributor to the Dayton Daily News and the Huffington Post and a frequent lecturer in the US and around the world on a variety of topics. He's also the editor of Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective. His most recent book is Americans Against the City: Anti-Urbanism in the 20th Century. Today, he shares his thoughts about attitudes and public policy toward immigrants in southwest Ohio.And, later this year, join WYSO and Ohio Humanities again for the forthcoming series The Ohio Country. Native men and women from different tribes and their allies—plus teachers, artists, scholars, parents, landowners, foresters, young people, and historians, too—will tell their stories about the about the lands above the Ohio River, known as the Ohio Country. You can listen in this feed, at WYSO.org, ohiohumanities.org, and in all those other places where you get podcasts.

David Leis' guest today, Randal O'Toole has dedicated decades of research and analysis to policies that help citizens live and thrive rather than be held hostage to the demands of green belts and bureaucratic restrictions. In this conversation he debunks myths about how North American cities ought to structure development to serve human behaviour rather than utopian urban plans that don't add up.

  On Monday's show: The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Houston's response to illegal dumping and whether the city is guilty of racial discrimination. Also this hour: How do we define where “Houston” ends and “outside of Houston” begins? The loop? The beltway? The Grand Parkway? The city limits? The metro area? We talk it over and get your input. Then, Texas may have found a compromise on prayer in public schools years ago. Was that lightning in a bottle or is it possible to find compromise in other areas? And Jeff Balke updates us on Houston sports.

On tomorrow's Ag Business episode we are going to be discussing create and outside the box ways of creating off-farm income to support your dreams of farming or your farming lifestyle.  This interview that I conducted with Stacy Funderburke about agricultural easements outside of Atlanta, Georgia back in 2021 is a perfect lead in to tomorrow's episode.   Below are the original show notes. SHOW NOTES There are two fundamental issues that have always plagued me when it comes to farming.  First, what do we do about urban sprawl and disappearing farm ground?  Second, how can a person expect to start a successful farm and be a full-time farmer with land, input, and equipment costs being so high?  So, when I was contacted by The Conservation Fund asking to be on the show and talk about their answers to these questions, I jumped at the chance. The folks at The Conservation Fund are pro-agriculture, and they are particularly fond of locally produced farm goods that follow their model of sustainability.  They also abhor disappearing farm ground.  So, they are working to increase locally produced goods while slowing urban sprawl.  Right now they are doing this in the 30 counties, metro area of Atlanta, Georgia as a pilot project.  But the prospects are very good for expansion. In this episode, I speak with Stacy Funderburke, who is heading up the "Working Farms Fund" on behalf of The Conservation Fund in the Atlanta metro area.  This program aims to pay farmers the actual market cost for their farms.  Once purchased, they place the farms into an agricultural easement so that they will be farmed in perpetuity.  And this is when the fun really starts. Once these two things have taken place they match up the particular farm with an experienced farmer, who has been leasing ground or working as an employee and is looking to start their own enterprise.  Because the land has been placed in an agricultural easement the price is not driven up by demand from developers.  This gives the new farmer a reasonable shot at purchasing the land.  To begin the new farmer enters into a lease on the farm ground with an option to buy. The Conservation Fund helps the new farmer with obtaining resources, sharing equipment, and developing markets.  In exchange, the City Of Atlanta and its surrounding metro area have another local producer who can bring locally grown food to market in that area.  It is a win/win/win situation.  You don't need to be from Georgia to participate in this and be selected as one of the new farmers.  We will tell you all about this in today's episode.

Administration has dropped their "Density Target for New Neighbourhoods Report" in which they recommend giving council discretion to lower the OCP's density targets for certain development proposals. We speak with UofR geography professor about that recommendation and about Regina's sprawl problem.

Our future will be defined by those who understand deeply ingrained systems but have the ability to harness that knowledge, think outside of the box, and free the system to move toward a better model.  Few are doing this as well as Claudia Carter. Claudia will take us on a journey from her hometown of Manta, Ecuador to her current role as Executive Director of the California Wheat Commission. In this episode, you will hear how the passion for great food, wheat, and healthy children is changing the way we interface with one of the oldest and most significant crops on the planet. This recording takes us through the complex world of commodity wheat, protein levels, quantitative lab evaluation and beyond. You will learn how the conformity in nutrient composition dictates market pull and price. This helps us to see how the industry has problems using wheats grown outside of conventional systems (both organic and regenerative) and why the market has had a hard time adapting to it despite proof that these crops can often perform beautifully in bakery applications. We discuss the pressures in California from prolonged drought, irrigation access, and the recently passed legislation that is forcing farmers to make some very serious decisions. SGMA (Sustainable Groundwater Management Act) is changing the future of California's agricultural sector and we hear about what farmers, advocates, and academics are doing to help prevent the land from becoming fallow.  Claudia is so passionate about children and we will hear about the Grain to School program she has worked to develop that helps kids connect with grains and grain-based foods from the soil up. Claudia's zeal for life is infectious and on top of all the incredible things she is doing, she is also pursuing her Ph.D. in Nutrition. It is thrilling to see this union of nutrition, cereal sciences, and industry coming together. Claudia embodies the visionary insight that is needed to build a healthier, more resilient food system. Learn more below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiacarter/ http://californiawheat.org/ https://www.instagram.com/californiawheat/ https://twitter.com/CAWheatComm https://water.ca.gov/programs/groundwater-management/sgma-groundwater-management https://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/people/mark-lundy https://civileats.com/2021/09/10/the-next-chapter-for-farm-to-school-milling-whole-grains-in-the-cafeteria/ 

Tripp is a Colorado native with a long history of involvement with water, water rights and conservation.  Water is the most important “commodity” on Earth and today we kick off our first of several sessions dedicated to the complex relationship that humans have with this precious resource. Tripp is a student of Axiology which is the philosophical study of value. In this session, we navigate the layers of “value” that are placed on water by society from the perspective of access, purity and scarcity. Tripp has spent his professional career in finance, business, grocery and impact investment. He has also dedicated time to both Western States Water Partnership and the Colorado Wildlife Foundation.https://www.linkedin.com/in/tripp-w-1904195/ https://www.trailheadcap.com/our-team https://foodsystems.colostate.edu/events/colorado-food-summit/speakers/#wall To learn more and sign up for our newsletter, please visit the Regenerative by Design page at: https://snacktivistfoods.com/pages/regenerative-by-design-podcast This podcast brought to you by Snacktivist Inc.
