AGENDA:

1. Profit, Loss and the Next American City, Charles Marohn

Discussing the financial health of our cities and addressing hard questions like: Why are our cities and towns so short of resources despite decades of robust growth? and What do we do now that the economy has changed so dramatically?

2. Using Placemaking and Tactical Urbanism to Change the Culture, Mike Lydon

Delving into specifics of creative placemaking and tactical urbanism, movements that seek to drive grassroots change in making tangible improvements and alterations to the public realm, even without – sometimes especially without – local government’s permission.

3. How we Measure the City, Joe Minicozzi

Examining how different kinds of development patterns affect municipal coffers, with the goal of ensuring that the public and private sectors work together to ensure they cultivate the most productive aspects of their communities.

4. Discussion and Wrap Up

There will be a gathering downstairs to meet the presenters and build on the conversation immediately following the Boot Camp.

WHEN: June 03, 2014 at 1pm - 5:30pm
