Event Description:
On February 27, Partnership for Strong Communities is hosting Transit-Oriented Development: Environmental and Public Benefits. The event will begin with light breakfast and networking at 8:30am, and the program will begin at 9:00am. Transit-Oriented Development is in demand for many reasons. It can fill the need for strategically-located affordable housing. It can increase property tax revenues by responding to market demand. It can power the economy by increasing consumer buying power in mixed use and commercial zones. It can enhance environmental quality by reducing automobile dependence, limiting highway congestion, promoting open space preservation, sparking denser energy-efficient development and encouraging brownfield remediation. Developers are responding to TOD demand in cities and suburbs using in-fill development, redevelopment and new construction. But, with new transit opportunities coming online, this type of development needs to expand. This IForum will explore how natural allies — advocates for affordable housing, mass transit, energy conservation and environmental protection — can work together to focus on smart growth planning in conjunction with environmental quality and justice. We will explore the progress to date and the state-of-the-art strategies for creating, smaller, denser, more affordable and energy-efficient homes near transit. Certified Planners: 2 credits available.
