SUMMARY:MOSH N' MINGLE: Exploring Third Spaces Through the New Brunswick DIY Basement Show Scene
DESCRIPTION:The vibrant and gritty New Brunswick DIY scene offers the opportunity to get involved with the local music community\, serving as an integral counterculture third space for young adults—especially among women\, queer\, and people of color communities looking for an inclusive\, engaging\, and creative outlet. \nBy applying an urban planning lens\, we examine the intersections between third spaces and the basement show scene as community hubs for social interaction\, fostering a sense of belonging\, self-expression\, and connection. \nWhether you’re an avid show-goer\, urban planning nerd\, or just someone curious to learn more\, this three-part symposium is the perfect chance to connect with others who share a passion for community-building.

SUMMARY:Meck Memorial Lecture--Not the Master’s Tools: 5\,000 years of  Money\, Credit\, and Community Banking
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nOscar Perry Abello\nSenior Economics Correspondent\, Next City \nWhile the laws\, regulations\, and structure of banking greatly influence land use\, urban planning and housing\, banking itself is poorly understood—even by many who work in banking. Looking around today\, it may seem like big banks have always lorded over the economy\, but in reality\, it was community banks that did the bulk of the work to finance the expansion of infrastructure\, homes\, small businesses and industries that built the cities and rural economies that make up our country today. Even less understood is how the pattern of local ownership and local control over the banking system that helped build this country is part of a pattern that has shown up in thriving cultures and societies going back 5\,000 years\, to the very earliest written records of human activity we have found so far. While it is true\, as Audre Lorde wrote\, that the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house\, banking and money and credit were never the master’s tools to begin with. It’s time for communities to take them back again. \nOscar Perry Abello is currently the senior economic justice correspondent for Next City\, an independent\, not-for-profit\, online publication covering cities from the lens of social\, racial\, and environmental justice. He is also the author of The Banks We Deserve: Reclaiming Community Banking for a Just Economy\, forthcoming in February 2025 from Island Press. Oscar’s writing has also appeared in Yes! Magazine\, City & State New York\, Impact Alpha\, Shelterforce\, and other outlets. Oscar is a child of immigrants descended from the former colonial subjects of the Spanish and U.S. imperial regimes in the Philippines. He was born in New York City\, and raised in the inner-ring suburbs of Philadelphia. He has a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University\, majoring in economics and minoring in peace and justice studies. He spent several years embedded in the international development industry before transitioning into journalism full-time in 2015. He currently lives in New York City with his domestic partner and the two most photogenic kitties in the world. \nWatch the Video

SUMMARY:Fostering Health Equity by Creating Equitable Housing: An Anchor Institution’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kenneth Morris\, Jr.\, MHA\, MA\nVice President\, External Affairs\, St. Joseph’s Health \nView Video Here \nSupportive housing is a groundbreaking concept that combines affordable housing with essential services to provide stability\, autonomy\, and dignity to people grappling with complex challenges. The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Hospital Partnership Subsidy Pilot Program revolutionized the affordable housing landscape by leveraging hospital equity with the 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program to establish affordable housing developments near hospital campuses\, catering specifically to frequent users of hospital services. \nRecognizing the pivotal role of stable\, affordable housing in healthcare\, St. Joseph’s Health\, in collaboration with HMFA and local agencies\, opened Barclay Place\, the first supportive affordable housing  development in New Jersey. Launched in 2023\, Barclay Place\, located near St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Paterson\, offers vulnerable families and individuals the opportunity to rent affordable apartments and access vital supportive services St. Joseph’s Health provides.  This innovative initiative embodies a new era of compassionate and comprehensive care\, empowering individuals\, and families to thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment. \nAs Vice President of External Affairs at St. Joseph’s Health\, Kenneth M. Morris\, Jr.\, MHA\, MA\, oversees operations at the Paterson\, Wayne\, and Totowa\, NJ campuses. In this role\, he manages Government Affairs\, Community Outreach and Engagement\, the System’s Regional Health Coalition\, the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program\, and WIC\, as well as a portfolio of the System’s real estate holdings. Over his 43-year career at St. Joseph’s\, Ken has developed programs to enhance healthcare access for underprivileged residents in Passaic County. Notably\, he spearheaded the creation of the first supportive affordable housing development in New Jersey\, addressing social determinants of health. \nThe Ruth Ellen Steinman Bloustein and Edward J. Bloustein Memorial Lecture was established to honor the memory of these two extraordinary individuals. It celebrates the values and interests Ruth Ellen and Ed cherished and cultivated throughout their lives: the study and preservation of animal species and the natural environment\, the celebration of love\, happiness\, and laughter as tools of clinical medicine\, and the exploration and promotion of humane values\, which they believed were woven in the fabric of Judaic tradition and passed down from generation to generation.

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.

SUMMARY:15-Minute Neighborhoods
DESCRIPTION:15 Minute Neighborhoods: A Pathway to Creating Healthier\, More Just\, Resilient & Sustainable Communities in New Jersey \nThe 15-minute neighborhood concept gained visibility as the global pandemic demonstrated that local access to basic life needs is critically important. In addition to being an important contribution to New Jersey’s efforts to achieve its goals of reducing pollution that causes climate change\, 15-minute neighborhoods provide residents with easy access to parks\, schools\, gathering places\, social services\, places to buy healthy fresh food\, and\, in some cases\, public transit\, within a comfortable walk or bike ride. \nNear-term\, multi-billion-dollar investments in infrastructure\, a revolution in transportation technologies not seen in a century\, the recalibration of relationships between people and places brought about by the pandemic\, and converging policies related to energy\, health\, climate\, transportation\, and environmental justice provide New Jersey with an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and adjust how we design and build communities. \nJoin Jon Carnegie\, Executive Director of the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University\, for a summary of a two-year study designed to investigate how a comprehensive\, multi-goal planning and policy framework can be used to achieve carbon-neutral transportation choices that simultaneously support healthy\, just\, and resilient communities for all New Jersey residents. \nPRESENTATION\nJon Carnegie\, Executive Director\, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\, Rutgers University \nMODERATOR\nJeanne Herb\, Executive Director\, Environmental Analysis and Communications Group\, Rutgers University Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy \nRESPONSE PANEL\nAlex Ambrose\, Policy Analyst\, New Jersey Policy Perspective\nZoe Baldwin\, Vice President\, Regional Plan Association\nElizabeth Semple\, Director of Adaptation\, The Nature Conservancy NJ \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Evaluating sectoral decarbonization pathways for India’s net-zero ambitions
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Professor Mike Lahr for a guest speaker presentation by Professor Kakali Mukhopadhyay\, Ph.D. (she/her/elle)\, McGill University\, Montreal\, CANADA \nAssociated reading: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667095X22000113 \nPAPER ABSTRACT: \nIn the first of its kind\, this study evaluates the socio-economic impacts of two ambitious decarbonization pathways for India (i) aligned with India’s Nationally Determined Commitments (NDC) negotiated through the Paris Agreement in 2015 and (ii) more ambitious NDC plus decarbonization trajectory aligned with India’s recent COP26 commitments at subnational level. The analysis uses a newly developed dynamic macro-econometric regional simulation model – E3-India to evaluate changes in key economic and emission parameters due to energy transition at both national and state levels for India. Impacts on emission intensity of the economy\, GDP\, employment and income are assessed to highlight the larger macro-economic and regional distributive impacts of existing NDC targets for India. \nThe results provide three key insights\, (i) overall socio-economic impacts of committing to an ambitious decarbonization trajectory primarily articulated through NDCs for India will be positive\, but the transition trajectory will have unequal distributive impacts across states and sectors. (ii)The NDC trajectories will have an expansive impact on the harder-to-abate construction sector so along with decarbonization of the energy sector\, the steel and cement sector would also need focused decarbonization measures. (iii) In the absence of policies promoting ‘Just transitions’ smaller coal-bearing states will be worst off\, stuck with the expansion of only primary and extractive mining sectors while high renewable energy potential states will show expansion in technology-focused sectors and high skilled sectors. \nBIO: \nKakali Mukhopadhyay is an Associate Professor for the Agricultural Economics Program (Department of Natural Resource Sciences) at McGill University\, Montreal\, Canada. She is a former Professor of Economics at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE)\, Pune\, India and Adjunct Professor/Senior Fellow associate at McGill University\, Department of Agricultural Economics (2016-23).

She has been a senior advisor of E3-India Model\, a collaborative initiative of the Regulatory Assistance Project\, Vermont\, USA and Cambridge Econometrics\, UK\, for its development and validation. \nPrior to joining McGill in 2007\, she was a postdoctoral research fellow and subsequently a faculty at the Center for Development and Environmental Policy\, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta\, and Madras School of Economics\, Chennai\, India. She was also a postdoctoral/visiting fellow/visiting research scholar of the Faculty of Business Management\, Oulu University (Finland 2001\,2007); Stockholm Environment Institute (Sweden 2001); the SOM Research School\, Groningen University (the Netherlands 2003); UNU MERIT\, Maastricht University (the Netherlands 2003;2010;2019); OECD (2017) and the School of Environment\, Resources and Development\, Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand 2005). Additionally\, she has served as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the De La Salle University\, Manila\, the Philippines (2014\,2016)\, and as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences\, Beijing (2017). \nHer research focuses on energy and environment\, renewable energy and economic growth\, trade and environment\, air pollution and health\, regional economic integration\, R&D\, Global Value Chain\, economics of health and Nutrition\, and food safety.
