GreaterPlaces for Sustainable, Smart Community Design


NEW!!

I am looking for 10-15 volunteers to test an interactive platform for connecting people seeking information with those doing the work. Imagine a "concierge planning" resource where you ask questions to get connected to experts and innovators, and get content relevant to your work.

How it Works

  1. Send Lisa an email to express interest.  I am seeking professionals in the public sector first.
  2. List 1-2 things you are looking for right now on urban planning trends (examples of shared-use policies, images of complete streets, etc...).  
  3. I'll seek out practitioners who are doing the work through GreaterPlaces' network and forward you their work and a contact. 
  4. Starting in December, you'll get a bi-weekly newsletter that covers results of what people are looking for (and what we found), as well as top stories in planning and what it means for your job.  You'll also get a tickler reminding you to ask questions. 

Note - This is an experiment, so you might not immediately get answers to questions. As for trends, the hottest topics right now are resilience, new mobility, smart cities, Complete Streets,  and how to build walkable communities.
