SUMMARY:People\, Policy\, Planning\, Place and Product: Lessons from a City Planner
DESCRIPTION:ANNUAL DIVERSITY\, EQUITY\, INCLUSION AND BELONGING LECTURE \nPresented by Christopher A. Watson\, M.Sc.\, Ph.D.[c] Director of Planning and Development Services\, Murphy Schiller & Wilkes LLP \nPlanning as a tool is ideally to organize the physical environment to effectuate the life course of residents\, so that they can be triangled with the resources needed to live successful life courses. Often\, whoever gets to make the decision as to how space is organize determines the outcome for those residents\, enveloped in those planned areas. To better provide the support residents need to advance themselves\, personal agency aside\, planners must be able to be the best translators of residents’ voices within planning principles that forward an agenda that is inclusive of community voice. Without this key understanding in practice\, space is disorganized\, and the evolution of society is stymied by confusion. \nThis conversation will explore these themes and will allow us as planners to have an honest conversation as to what our mandates are\, how we practice these mandates\, and how we come together to organize space around who we are planning for. Planning for people should include their voices\, and this lecture is to provoke a conversation as to how we get to this realization in our practices. \n

SUMMARY:Inside the Black Box: Mapping Neighborhood Boundaries in a Muslim Informal Settlement. Case of Jamia Nagar\, Delhi\, India
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Zehra Mahdi\, Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral Research Fellow at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and doctoral candidate at the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning\, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)\, Kharagpur\, India. Her doctoral research focuses on neighborhood change in informal settlements in Delhi\, India that are predominantly inhabited by the Muslim community and influenced by the presence of anchor institutions. \nMuslim spaces in India are often characterized by a socio-spatial bundle of attributes enmeshed in planning informalities. They are frequently viewed through a lens of opaqueness and homogeneity by the State\, planners\, policy-makers\, and other residents. Such a generalization of space leads to stigmatization and uneven distribution of State resources. This talk illustrates the internal heterogeneity and dynamics of socio-spatial organization within Muslim spaces. It examines how residents define their neighborhoods by evoking spatial and non-spatial variables of distinctions\, and how their perception and delineation of neighborhoods differ based on their positionality. It then provides a method to reach consensus from multiple\, overlapping boundaries to operational neighborhood units. It is an attempt to move beyond the binaries of formal-informal\, religious\, and ethnic groups as black-box typifications in urban spaces\, and to counter map admin-political boundaries ‘from below’ by accounting for residents’ sensibilities\, agency\, and consensus.

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. DNJ provides advocacy\, education\, and technical assistance resources dedicated to ensuring the vitality of our downtowns. \nThe Transit Friendly Planning Program at NJ TRANSIT is a community-focused planning program at New Jersey’s statewide public transportation agency. It offers decades of experience in assisting municipalities across New Jersey with community engagement\, data\, education\, strategic partnerships\, and technical assistance centered around station area planning. The Program strives to promote equitable\, economically resilient\, and environmentally sustainable development that improves the quality of life for all.

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:Laundry Literacy Initiative: Spanish Book Drive for New Brunswick Families
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Laundry Literacy Initiative: Spanish Book Drive for New Brunswick Families\, supporting the Wash and Learn Program at Roosevelt Elementary School. Founded by Ms. Anne-Marie\, a dedicated teacher\, this unique laundromat literacy initiative addresses the “book desert” in New Brunswick by creating a welcoming space for families to read while doing laundry. The program encourages children and parents to read together\, fostering stronger family connections and promoting literacy in the community. \nWith a growing number of Spanish-speaking families in the area\, there is an urgent need for Spanish-language books. Your donations will help provide these families with access to culturally relevant and engaging reading materials. Children attending the Wash and Learn sessions will benefit from one-on-one reading support\, book giveaways\, and fun STEM\, craft\, or game activities. \nThis event invites students and staff to help us make a difference by donating new or gently used Spanish-language books. Together\, we can inspire a love of reading and support the literacy growth of our community! \nDonation boxes will be placed throughout the Bloustein School building. Sponsored by the Bloustein School Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging Committee.
