Creating Resilient Communities
This session will highlight best practices and current models in planning resilient communities, those that are environmentally and economically sustainable, equitable, walkable and meet the current needs of residents, workers and visitors without compromising the needs of future generations. Resilient communities are created by collaborative approaches to land-use planning, transportation planning and community development. Resilient communities are those that are planned and implemented via partnerships between all affected stakeholders. The communities are created when the physical environment is the result of cooperative decision making. Presenters will share best practices in community building via heightened awareness of the connection between housing, jobs, transportation and environmental sustainability.
Presenters:
- Veronica O. Davis, Principal Planner and Engineer, Nspiregreen
- Jon Frederick, Housing Analyst, City of Alexandria
- Matt Ladd, Senior Planner, Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning
