SUMMARY:VTC Distinguished Lecture--Overbuilt: The High Costs and Low Rewards of US Highway Construction
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Erick Guerra will explore how America’s infrastructure legacy continues to shape our transportation future. Drawing from his new book\, Overbuilt: The High Costs and Low Rewards of US Highway Construction\, he will examine how the Interstate Highway System set the stage for decades of policy favoring excessive road construction. His talk will unpack how outdated metrics and rigid funding structures continue to influence transportation decisions—and what’s needed to create a more balanced\, sustainable approach. \nDr. Guerra is a Professor of Regional Planning and Associate Dean for Research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School. His research focuses on the intersections of land use\, transportation\, and public health. \nAttendees will have a chance to win one of 10 signed copies of the book! \nJoin us at 4:30 PM for a reception with light refreshments. \nLecture begins at 5:00 PM. \nRSVP HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vtc-distinguished-lecture-with-erick-guerra-phd-tickets-1564007782379?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Filling the Gaps: Infill for Transit Connected Communities -- a TOD in Your Downtown Forum
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by NJTOD\, the Transit Friendly Newsletter of NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program\, this forum will explore infill development in New Jersey’s transit-connected communities. \nPanelists from public agencies\, municipal government\, and the private sector will share strategies for building on vacant or underutilized sites near transit—including surface parking lots\, brownfields\, and other parcels with untapped potential. \nThe discussion will highlight how infill projects can strengthen walkability\, add housing and amenities\, and foster vibrant\, transit-supportive neighborhoods while earning community support. Case studies will range from small-scale residential projects to larger mixed-use\, mixed-income developments\, offering real-world lessons on leveraging sites well-positioned for transit access. \nAttendees will hear directly from developers\, municipal leaders\, and other stakeholders on practical approaches to addressing New Jersey’s housing needs through sustainable\, transit-oriented development. The session will conclude with audience Q&A. \n2.0 AICP CM credits. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Operationalizing Equity: Keynote of Kruekeberg Doctoral Conference
DESCRIPTION:Reference to “equity” in planning is rather ubiquitous\, for good reason. However\, moving conceptual terms from theory to practice often belies just intentions in even the best plans and processes of implementation of urban development. In this lecture\, Dr. Carolini will discuss the challenges and opportunities of moving beyond equity as a norm and consider its transition in both scholarship and practice–however complicated. While planners have long leaned on participatory decision-making strategies to ensure procedural equities and advance justice in urban planning and development\, here she will draw attention to examples of how planners can also foreground epistemic and distributive equities at the local level. To this end\, she will discuss project-level considerations of the quality of learning and knowledge production and the criticality of spatialized accounts of fairness in making legible the distribution of a project or program’s material benefits. She will leverage her research from across the Americas and Africa to argue that operationalizing equity can be more straightforward than it sounds. However\, this requires a reframing of ex-ante and ex-post evaluative frameworks to incorporate procedural\, distributive\, and epistemic equities in projects and programs that can move us closer toward that which ought to be in cities. \nGabriella Carolini is an associate professor of urban planning and international development in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) at MIT\, where she leads the City Infrastructure Equity Lab (CIEL). Her research and teaching are centered on providing a grounded critical analysis of how the governance of infrastructure development—including its financial architecture\, implementation practices\, and evaluation—shapes the distributional fairness of infrastructure benefits\, particularly for and with marginalized communities. \nConference Registration: https://forms.gle/rWAx3cMnqyTVtZ5S8 \n

SUMMARY:17th Annual Krueckeberg Doctoral Conference in Urban Studies\, Urban Planning\, and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:The Bloustein School will present the 17th Annual Krueckeberg Doctoral Conference in Urban Studies\, Urban Planning\, and Public Policy on Friday\, March 14\, 2025. The conference is organized by doctoral students for doctoral students engaged in urban planning\, urban studies\, health\, and policy-related research across disciplines and universities in the tri-state NJ-NY-PA metropolitan region. Named after Professor Donald A. Krueckeberg\, the conference commemorates Don Krueckeberg’s long-running commitment to doctoral education by providing a one-day forum highlighting doctoral student research at the cutting edge of urban studies\, planning\, and public policy. \nConference Registration: https://forms.gle/rWAx3cMnqyTVtZ5S8 \nConference Agenda \nDoctoral students at any stage of dissertation research are invited and encouraged to present their work at the conference. First-year doctoral students are invited to participate to try out a topic\, and advanced candidates may present sections of research or a finished dissertation\, or anywhere in between. Past presentations have outlined tentative research topics\, surveyed literature\, reported interim findings\, and overviewed completed dissertations. The conference aims to encourage questions\, comments\, and discussions during each session. \nA well-known and respected scholar in the planning profession\, Professor Krueckeberg’s special interests and contributions were in the areas of planning history\, property theory\, and land use policy. His books\, Introduction to Planning History in the United States\, The American Planner: Biographies and Recollections\, and Urban Planning Analysis\, still serve as important references for scholars and professionals in planning and public policy. \nAs a major contributor to urban planning and policy studies\, the Bloustein School’s Krueckeberg Conference showcases some of the most unique and forward-thinking research in the discipline. Past conferences have included doctoral candidates in urban studies\, urban planning and public policy from Columbia University\, The New School\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and more.

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
