SUMMARY:Plan4HealthNJ Studio: A Diagnostic Approach  to Incorporating Public Health in Master Plans
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the American Planning Association-New Jersey Chapter with a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, this Plan4HealthNJ studio enabled students to collaborate with officials and practitioners\, engage in research and beta test ideas for APA-NJ to work with select municipalities to update their master plans\, zoning ordinances and capital improvement programs to incorporate public health outcomes. Areas of focus included access to healthy food and agriculture\, environmental health and sustainability\, healthcare access\, mobility\, housing and community design and policy and public engagement. Students engaged in research\, tested toolkits created by APA-NJ\, explored how these toolkits could help urban\, suburban and rural towns in New Jersey incorporate public health outcomes into their plans\, ordinances and investments\, and provided findings and recommendations that may prove helpful when APA-NJ works with municipalities in 2026 to update their Master Plans\, ordinances and CIPs to incorporate public health concerns. \nA light reception will follow the event. For more information about Plan4HealthNJ\, visit https://njplanning.org/plan4healthnj/ \nRSVP to go.rutgers.edu/plan4healthnj

SUMMARY:Civic Engagement in an Era of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Renée Sieber is an associate professor at McGill University. Since she graduated from the Bloustein School\, she has investigated the intersection of civic empowerment and computational technologies. She is best known for her research and practice on public participation geographic information systems and also has conducted research on participatory climate modeling. She currently researches civic engagement related to artificial intelligence. She co-hosts the monthly Al in Canadian Municipalities Community of Practice\, now in its sixth year\, where cities exchange best practices on Al use. She has collaborated\nwith numerous federal agencies and organizations in Canada on Al policy. She has advised on the design of two Al risk assessment tools and served on the IEEE working group on Al procurement. She sits on the executive boards of GIScience and Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management. \nArtificial intelligence is sold as a miraculous cure to many of the ills of cities\, one of which is a lack of civic (local) engagement. Al can summarize and translate civic participation and even synthesize participants if desired. Add to that\, cities may be reluctant to engage citizens on Al-its deployment\, impacts\, and overall policy-because engagement supposedly slows Al adoption and because the tech contains all these contradictions. It’s opaque and can only be understood by data scientists. But it seems effortless to use\, with chatbots and software libraries. Humans can and should be in the loop but autonomous agents will save cities time and money. On top of all of that\, Al\, especially generative Al\, exerts an enormous impact on people’s lives so citizens should be involved. But governments exist in a FOMO (fear of missing out) world\, where they feel the need to optimize with Al\, less they miss their competitive advantage. This lecture will discuss these challenges and explore numerous ways that citizens can engage with cities on Al. It will also cover the dark side of Al with regard to civic engagement. \nThis talk draws on Dr. Sieber’s research at the intersection of tech and civic engagement. This interest developed in her dissertation with PhD supervisor Lyna Wiggins\, who emphasized local adoption by planners of GIS\, which at the time was hard! Throughout her career\, she has been driven to investigate the potential for civic engagement using hard tech\, especially as the discourse moves towards tech as the engine of innovation\, for example in smart cities. In this she will draw on her six years co-hosting Al in Canadian Municipalities Community of Practice as well as 20+ years researching public participation GIS. \nRSVP AT go.rutgers.edu/meck2025 \n*************** \nThe Stuart Meck Distinguished Speaker Series on Land Use Law and Affordable Housing was established in 2018 by the family of the late Stuart Meck\, Associate Research Professor and director of the Center for Planning Practice at the Bloustein School\, and a professional planner for more than 45 years. The series highlights experts and practitioners of planning and policy development\, offering diverse insight into topics under public and academic debate. This year’s lecture is dedicated to the memory of Lyna L. Wiggins\, a longtime professor and program director in Rutgers’ urban planning program who retired in 2019 and passed away in November 2024. A pioneer in Geographic Information Sciences (GIS)\, Lyna taught its intricacies to generations of students at the Bloustein School. Most currently practicing planners in New Jersey took one of her courses. All are invited to join us in honoring her memory.

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:Navigating Policy-Focused Career Pathways: Exploring Graduates' Policy-Focused Careers
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the New Jersey State Policy Lab to listen to and meet several of the many former students who have worked with NJSPL over the years. These alumni have gone on to pursue a variety of public policy-focused careers in areas including healthcare\, housing\, and economics. \nIn the four years since the NJSPL’s inception at Rutgers University\, it has employed more than 100 graduate and undergraduate students as part of specific research projects and/or in the annual summer internship program. Many of their former interns and research assistants have stepped into professional careers in assorted policy arenas at the local\, state\, and federal levels. \nThis event will feature former interns\, teaching assistants\, and research assistants who worked with the NJSPL. They will discuss their policy interests\, research\, and career paths\, followed by time for networking\, where current students will learn more about careers where they can make a difference in assorted policy arenas. This event will help current students envision and navigate the transition from theory to practice\, operationalizing their ideals in their career choices. \nLight refreshments will be provided. Register for our event today.

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
