SUMMARY:TOD in Your Downtown: Gentle Density--Unlocking the Missing Middle in Housing
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by NJTOD\, Downtown New Jersey\, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program\, the event will feature a timely discussion on gentle density and missing middle housing in New Jersey. Experts from public agencies\, nonprofit organizations\, and local governments will share their experiences and strategies for expanding diverse housing options while preserving neighborhood character. \nMiddle Housing—ranging from duplexes to buildings with up to 12 units—have been largely sidelined since the mid-20th century\, as zoning regulations prioritized suburban single-family homes or urban high rises. Reintroducing Middle Housing into single-family and transitional neighborhoods offers a practical approach to advancing Gentle Density. \nAs municipalities work to address the state’s housing shortage\, gentle density provides a realistic and context-sensitive solution. This panel will highlight real-world approaches for developing Middle Housing\, the role of public transit in supporting these efforts\, and best practices for creating livable\, affordable\, and sustainable communities. \nRegistration\, Networking & Refreshments at 9:30 AM. Panel at 10:00 AM. \n

SUMMARY:Cultural Heritage Now: Evidence and Evaluation: Understanding What Cultural Heritage Projects Achieve"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Paul Burtenshaw\, Senior Director of Project Impact at World Monuments Fund\n\n\nThere is an increasing need within cultural heritage to provide evidence for project impact. This need has several sources\, from the evolving requirements of sustainable and international development practice\, changes in impact philanthropy\, desire for justifying public budgets and from cultural heritage itself wishing to demonstrate its applicability to wider social agendas. This lecture will discuss these sources and how we can develop appropriate monitoring and evaluation systems and tools\, including current work at World Monuments Fund.\n\nDr Paul Burtenshaw is the Senior Director of Project Impact at World Monuments Fund. Paul completed his PhD at University College London into the performance and politics of cultural heritage as an economic asset. He was previously the Director of Projects at Sustainable Preservation Initiative and has been a freelance consultant for projects involving heritage economics\, tourism\, and how cultural heritage supports sustainable and community development.\n\n\nJoin on Zoom\n\nFor more information: chaps.rutgers.edu

SUMMARY:TOD in Your Downtown Forum -- Affordable Housing + TOD: Obligations and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This event\, hosted by NJTOD\, Downtown New Jersey\, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program will bring together experts from public agencies\, nonprofit organizations\, and the private sector to share their experiences with affordable housing in downtowns across New Jersey. Affordable housing is not only a legal obligation in New Jersey but also vital contributor to the vibrancy of our Main Streets and the success of equitable transit-oriented development (e-TOD). \nWith the release of the fourth-round regulations of the Council of Affordable Housing (COAH)\, many municipalities across the state will need to plan for additional affordable housing units. The panel will discuss their experiences in developing affordable and mixed-income housing\, strategies for meeting affordable housing obligations\, and approaches to equitably locating affordable housing. Panelists will also highlight best practices for leveraging e-TOD to create new affordable housing in transit-rich neighborhoods. \nRSVP HERE \nNJTOD\, published since 2005\, is designed to keep municipal officials\, planners\, and advocates up-to-date on the potential for development and redevelopment around transit stations. This partnership between NJ TRANSIT and the Bloustein School’s Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center (VTC) at Rutgers University aims to enrich the transit-oriented development (TOD) conversation in New Jersey’s diverse communities by highlighting what is happening in the state and around the country: best practices\, model programs\, legislation\, and local problem-solving experiences. \nDowntown New Jersey is a non-profit membership organization of individuals\, businesses\, developers\, government agencies\, and local and regional entities that are passionate about downtowns. Downtowns reflect our communities’ unique identities\, provide a focal point\, a convenient local place of commerce\, and offer a sense of place where people can gather and truly be a community.

SUMMARY:Geography Speaker Series: The Map in the Machine: Charting the Spatial Architecture of Digital Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies have changed how we shop\, work\, play\, and communicate\, reshaping our societies and economies. To understand digital capitalism\, we need to grasp how advances in geospatial technologies underpin the construction\, operation\, and refinement of markets for digital goods and services. In this talk\, based on his recent book\, The Map in the Machine\, Luis F. Alvarez León examines these advances\, from MapQuest and Google Maps to the rise of IP geolocation\, ridesharing\, and a new Earth Observation satellite ecosystem. He develops a geographical theory of digital capitalism centered on the processes of location\, valuation\, and marketization to provide a new vantage point from which to better understand and intervene in the dominant techno-economic paradigm of our time. By centering the spatiality of digital capitalism\, Alvarez León shows how this system is the product not of seemingly intangible information clouds but rather of a vast array of technologies\, practices\, and infrastructures deeply rooted in place\, mediated by geography\, and open to contestation and change. \nReferences: Alvarez León\, L.

In 2016\, he completed his PhD in Geography at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, and was presented with the Best Dissertation Award by the AAG Economic Geography Specialty Group (EGSG). From 2016 to 2018\, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Sol Price Center for Social Innovation and in 2018 he was Visiting Assistant Professor of Urban and Economic Geography at Clark University. His work focuses on the political economy of geospatial data\, media\, and technologies. He is currently working on the geographies of autonomous vehicles\, and the changing political economy of remote sensing.
