Innovative Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) provide many co-benefits. This session will explore how Devens is integrating NbS into all development projects through a combination of education, incentives, and regulations to further the sustainable redevelopment of this former military base. This session will also explore how Devens is using biometric tools to measure the impact of NbS on the subconscious, supporting the design of places and spaces for people first. The Apple Country Natural Climate Solutions Project and Ayer-Devens Pocket Forest Project will be featured as innovative and replicable tools that communities can use to help integrate the natural and built environment.

Triggers to “Not in My Back Yard” are often rooted in fear. Fear of loss of quality of life, property values, environmental degradation, health effects, or distrust in technology, government, and management. Other triggers can be ideology or impacts on symbolic places. NIMBY-ism is not simply a U.S. phenomenon, it happens everywhere. Research from around the world reveals useful techniques for ...

This session will discuss planning, zoning, and permitting for EV charging - the challenges and lessons learned. Local approval often goes beyond code review to include planning and zoning concerns for land use, parking, traffic, design, and aesthetics.

    For home owners without off street parking this is a huge problem in your smaller city where people still need vehicles for transport.

  • @hrothgars5992
    @hrothgars5992 4 місяці тому

    It is difficult to count charging station stalls toward required off-street parking when the station operators charge owners of vehicles who overstay their charging reservation and/or restrict non-electric vehicles from parking in these stalls. When operators remove the use restrictions, I'm confident communities would be happy to include them. You can't have it both ways.

    • @gregtoth
      @gregtoth 2 місяці тому

      Actually I don't think jurisdictions want to be "in charge" of enforcing or patrolling EV parking spaces, and would rather rely on the operators to enforce whether or not an EV space is actually being used for active charging. But I think you're right in that it's problematic to count these spaces toward overall parking requirements. On the other hand, an EV charging space doesn't make a lot of sense if it's not being used for charging. Is it meant to charge vehicles or just a "VIP" reserved space for EVs?

    Many people have strong feelings about legacy monuments, including those "glorifying" war. Did Mr. Faber participate in the battle that’s being commemorated, or serve under a particular bronze-cast leader on horseback? How might war veterans, their families, relatives, and friends react to Paul's talk, which focuses on the notion of inherent toxicity of such monuments, commemorating a wartime or other event? Should we just truck these pieces away without regard to their feelings? I don't know the answer to that, but this dimension seems absent in Paul's mostly philosophical discussion. The idea that a horse in a war monument is 'just as much about ecology as it is about war' is a little surprising, and probably wasn't on the mind of the artist or commissioner at all, who conceived of the piece with a specific event and intent, and to the audience at the time (which didn't include Paul). Is Paul being presumptuous? We can't say for sure, because toxicity and misrepresentation are the mains views in his prepared talk. I wonder if Monument Lab thinks about these things.

    I enjoy such interesting discussions, but I have to wonder whether a well-written ethics code spawns so many interesting dilemmas. Every similar ethics presentation I have attended or seen has 2-3 moments of heavy sighs and "That's a great question" responses. What seems to be missing from most of these decisions is a clear tool for AICP planners to use to push back on unreasonable demands.

  • @user-rb8iz7ci1t

    I knew little about planning until I was hired by a municipal planning department as their environmental staff person. It is not a well known profession and has limited accredited schools. You need to get kids involved at public meetings so you might spark an interest, especially where you have diverse populations. All professional associations want to improve diversity but if nothing is known about the planning profession it will be difficult, like many other professions. Kids grow up wanting to be an accountant, attorney, police officer, etc. because that is what they see and know. Similarly with the accreditation process, schools that are or desire to become so are unlikely to have barriers to diversity in that program. Planning could easily be a fallback major for similar disciplines, especially if coursework is required from those disciplines - engineering, landscape architecture, architecture, etc. Give students that cannot get through the often difficult majors due to math or other requirements another option with planning. Offer a planning general education course for non-planners to teach them about zoning and other issues that might impact them as adults even if they don't become a planner. That type of course could spark a deeper interest, especially for persons that are undecided on a major. So many opportunities but also barriers to overcome.

  • @NunyaBidness-zr5mn
    @NunyaBidness-zr5mn 8 місяців тому

    I strongly believe there should be three mandatory courses in any planning program. One would be a public presentation skills class teaching theory and practice in how to effectively communicate planning ideas or cases to various constituencies. Another would be a basic course on infrastructure. Drainage, water and sewer, road planning, utilities.... And finally, a course on real estate development... how to do a pro-forma, lending, the cost of time and money, site research, etc. This so we can develop an appreciate of how our ordinances and procedures impact real-world opportunities for investment in your community.

    I sort of have a decent working knowledge of due process issues, free speech issues, takings law, etc. but I have a very limited understanding of how planning and zoning laws can run afoul of the dormant commerce clause of the Constitution. Would love to see a specialized lesson on that aspect of land use law.

    I think a "best practices" or in a state with lots of counties and less large municipal, would be good. But state mandated zoning, I'm sorry in Texas that isn't going to fly. The State is already budding in on local control, and they screw things up every time. The Cities and their elected officials konw what they want and what's best for community.
