SUMMARY:2014 Rising Seas Summit
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural Rising Seas Summit brought together more than 170 professionals from national and local government\, industry\, academic institutions and environmental NGOs together to highlight the interrelationships between sea level rise\, climate change and extreme events. Understanding\, anticipating and adapting to water related threats is critical to national security and a stable economy. Sea level rise will continue to damage coastal ecosystems and inland water systems\, and the recent catastrophic impacts of Hurricane Sandy have demonstrated the risks faced by all coastal communities on the U.S. eastern seaboard. These new environmental challenges require that stakeholders share knowledge and work together to reduce and mitigate environmental and social degradation induced by climate change. \nhttp://www.risingseassummit.org/ \nProgram Highlights\n\nCCOTM training bootcamps on the basics of sea level rise\, adaptation planning and disclosing climate risk\nMeetings\, workshops and roundtable discussions with Federal and local government officials leading adaptation planning efforts on behalf of their respective organizations\n4 plenary sessions featuring elected officials\, Federal agency leaders\, recognized thought leaders and scientific experts\n6 breakout panel discussions examining best practices on modeling and planning for sea level rise\, providing case studies from existing efforts\, quantifying the term economic implications of sea level rise\, making sound investments\, planning for more frequent and significant extreme events\nInnovative Tools and Planning Methodologies Showcase features presentations from technical experts in the public and private sectors\nCCO Roundtable networking lunch in which senior officials and experts from across sectors share their experience and wisdom with attendees \n\nRising Seas Summit Steering Committee\nACCO would like to thank the steering committee for its support and guidance in developing this

SUMMARY:The Five Thousand Pound Life: Land
DESCRIPTION:As shown in the event description: \nThe Five Thousand Pound Life: Land addresses the need to consider settlement patterns and competing land uses in new ways given the reality of climate change.  The value assigned to various forms of land use\, and various attitudes towards land as a resource\, must be understood in terms of ecological services and impacts\, rather than narrowly-defined economic imperatives. In sessions on “Nature and the City\,” “Spatial Logistics\,” and “Density\,” speakers will consider American approaches to development\, attitudes toward nature\, and whether the current dominant narrative of the environmental superiority of concentrated high density development might be challenged by a counter-narrative of lower density land-use that takes advantage of distributed energy production and localized treatment of waste. Ultimately\, The Five Thousand Pound Life: Land will ask what the desirable and politically achievable mix of these narratives could be. \nThe Architectural League launched The Five Thousand Pound Life—an initiative of public events\, digital releases\, and a major design study—in September 2013 to address the intertwined challenges of reimagining the American way of life to address climate change and to rebuild a robust economic structure that offers viable livelihoods across the income spectrum. The League brings the perspective of the design professions to these issues\, as its contribution to what must be a broad collective effort spanning geographies\, generations\, occupations\, disciplines\, and ideologies. \nOpening Remarks\nKevin Bone\, Director\, The Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design\nRosalie Genevro\, Executive Director\, The Architectural League of New York \nA Conversation on Nature and the City\nEric Sanderson & Ted Steinberg\nModerated by Rosalie Genevro \nEric Sanderson is an expert in the ecology of New York City\, a Senior Conservation Ecologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)\, and the best-selling author ofMannahatta: A Natural History of New York City (2009) and Terra Nova:  The New World After Oil\, Cars\, and Suburbs (2013). \nTed Steinberg is Professor of History and Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University.

SUMMARY:Land use summit: Solving urban land use problems in the 21st century
DESCRIPTION:As mentioned on the event page: \nCity Planning has evolved from the exclusive domain of government agencies\, to a more complex\, inter-agent process in the development of space. Organizations from across the country are leveraging open source data and new technologies in visualization\, crowd sourcing\, and data analysis to solve the most intractable problems facing our cities in the 21st Century. \nIn three parts\, this summit brings some of the leading minds behind the most dedicated and creative organizations\, who will share their thoughts on new tools and ideas that are leading the charge towards a more inclusive and dynamic urban environment. \nThe final part brings together\, in a moderated discussion\, a panel of urban land use leaders working to preserve manufacturing and affordable housing in our cities. In New York City\, where land is acutely finite\, how do we ensure land uses throughout the city are diverse enough to meet the needs of existing and future residents\, provide living-wage jobs at various levels of experience\, and ensure our economy has a wide range of industries? \nSchedule: \n+[Welcome and Keynote Speaker Susan Fainstein] \nSenior Research Fellow at Harvard Graduate School for Planning; Author of “The Just City \n+[Presentations of Innovative Projects Around Land Use] \nPresentations from leading innovative community-based organizations will present various projects addressing land use in New York City that cultivate a more inclusive and dynamic urban environment. \nFeaturing:  \n\nPaula Segal – 596 Acres\nJoan Byron – BRT Pratt Center\nSaleen Shah – Citizens Committee for NYC\nAnusha Venkataraman – El Puente Green Light District\n\n+[Intermission: Refreshments and Mingling] \n+[Panel – Affordability: The Future of Manufacturing and Housing in NYC] \nLeaders working on-the-ground\, advocating for manufacturing\, affordable housing\, and development in New York City will explore the debate on contending land use issues such as zoning and density in the city. In an age where various land uses\, especially manufacturing\, are under seige for redevelopment\, how should we approach land use regulation to find a balance that meets the current problems of diminishing affordability? \nFeaturing:  \n\nAdam Freidman – Pratt Center for Community Development\nJay Marcus – Fifth Avenue Committee\nDaniel Margulies – Associated Builders and Owners of Greater NY\nStephen Smith – NY YIMBY\nRaju Mann – New York City Council Land Use Division\n\nModerated by Moses Gates –Association for Neighborhood Housing and Development  \n  \nSponsors:\n \nAmerican Planning Association \nNew York University Robert F.
