SUMMARY:Intelligent Informatics @ Bloustein: Influence of AI in Public Administration:  The Finnish Experience
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jari Stenvall Professor of Administrative Sciences\, Tampere University\, Finland \nArtificial intelligence has meant a revolution in public administration and services. On the other hand\, there have been recent discussions suggesting that generative AI in particular will remain mainly a tool for individual employees. The key to the use of AI is not only the development of new innovations but also their implementation. \nThere are three approaches to implementation. The technological dimension means that actions will evolve with new technologies. In the data-driven dimension\, actions evolve by strengthening data-driven decision-making and action; in the organizational dimension\, actions change through organizational transformation. Leadership\, relevance\, and learning are also key to successful implementation. These are discussed theoretically and practically in the lecture. \nThe lecture will include several practical examples of AI implementation\, relevance and learning. The examples are related\, for instance\, to a research which has analyzed teachers’ experiences of AI implementation in Finland. \nFinland is a strongly technology-oriented country. Similarly\, Finland is one of the top countries in the world for innovations. A key strength has been the successful public education system. \nFacilitated by Professors Radha Jagannathan and Jim Samuel Join the Intelligent Informatics forum on LinkedIn https://go.rutgers.edu/rutgersinfx \nHosted by the Master of Public Informatics (MPI) program at Rutgers University the Public Informatics Student Group\, and PASCAL Rutgers Center.

SUMMARY:Re-envisioning Places: Designing Neighborhood Character\, Scale\, & Forms
DESCRIPTION:Urban Design Lecture Series at the Edward J Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy \nExisting communities are increasingly concerned with how new infill development impacts the form\, scale\, and character of established neighborhoods. This lecture features case studies of how urban design techniques\, strategies and methods have been successfully used to “shape” infill projects\, large and small\, that are seamlessly integrated with the fabric of surrounding neighborhoods. The case studies range from an entire new neighborhood integrated with a public park to individual new homes built on “tear-down” lots. The urban design tools used in these projects range from community visioning and charrettes to regulating plans and Form-Based Codes. \nRSVP  \nSpeakers: \nJim Constantine\, PP\nPrincipal\, LRK Architects\nJim is Principal of Planning for LRK. His 41 years of experience in urban design and planning expertise spans community visioning\, master planning\, site design\, form-based codes\, design guidelines\, and land development regulations working collaboratively with stakeholders across the public and private sectors. A recognized thought leader\, Jim has authored numerous articles on design and development for professional publications\, been featured in the Wall Street Journal\, New York Times\, and other media outlets\, and is a frequent speaker at national and regional conferences. Reflecting his passion for historic communities\, Jim divides his time between three diverse historic downtown neighborhoods: Hannibal Square in Winter Park\, FL; Old School Square in Delray Beach\, FL; and the Tree Streets in Princeton\, NJ. He is a member of the Congress for the New Urbanism\, the Urban Land Institute where he serves on\nthe Central Florida ULI Programs Committee\, and the Institute for Classical Architecture and Art where serves on the ICCA Florida Chapter Board. \nChris Cosenza\, AICP\, PP\, LEED-AP\nAssociate\, LRK Architects\nChris is an Associate at LRK\, and is a licensed professional planner with 20 years of experience in master planning\, redevelopment planning\, zoning\, urban design\, and architecture\, including nearly a decade serving as a Land Use Administrator for Metuchen during its revitalization period. Chris is currently the municipal planner for Metuchen and Highland Park\, and briefly served as the interim planner for Princeton. He has worked with various government\nagencies\, municipal officials\, property owners\, developers\, and builders on a range of planning projects – including Smart Growth\, TND\, TOD\, TSD\, form-based codes\, design guidelines\, and pattern books – throughout New Jersey\, as well as master planning projects in several other states\, Canada\, and Panama. At home\, in East Windsor Township\, he has served for nearly 20 years on the Township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment.
