NCSITE Mid-Year Meeting Registration Now Open! June 11-13, 2008, Charlotte, North Carolina Join the North Carolina Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (NCSITE) for its 2008 Mid-Year Meeting June 11-13 in Charlotte. This year’s theme is Tying the Knot: Transportation and Land Use. The meeting will include mobile sessions highlighting recent projects in Charlotte that have successfully integrated the two. First Session - June 19, 2008 Implementing sustainable communities will require the participation of the next several generations of development and planning professionals. New tools and techniques can greatly assist in the adoption of Sustainable Urbanism as a dominant pattern of human settlement over the course of the next few decades. Farr Associates, in partnership with PlaceMatters and the APA Technology Division, has put together a convenient and affordable series of online seminars to teach planners about the principles and practices of Sustainable Urbanism.

APA Hazards Planning Research Center Call for Best Practices The APA Hazards Planning Research Center is currently looking for planning documents and related publications that address hazard mitigation, to create a collection of best practices that make the connection between hazard mitigation planning and other local activities. Planners have a real opportunity to affect change on a wide variety of subjects through their strategic position as advisors to policy makers in town, city, county, and regional governments. Specifically we are seeking the following types of documents and published materials (examples in parentheses):
Help us learn what communities have already accomplished in integrating hazard mitigation into planning. Please send information (documents or links to web-based materials) to jschwab@planning.org.
