New Partners for Smart Growth Conference
February 8-10, 2007
Los Angeles, CA
The 2007 conference continues to recognize smart growth as a viable solution to the many challenges posed by growth. It is a smart investment, an opportunity to spur economic development, and a way to improve the public health. There are more reasons than ever to join hands with new partners and work toward the goals of creating safe, healthy, and livable communities for all.
Los Angeles provides a great backdrop for this national smart growth event. The Southern California region offers an excellent laboratory for a close examination of both the impacts and long-term implications of unplanned growth, as well as some of the most innovative policies and successful case studies and projects that are addressing the significant growth and development challenges this region is facing. Participants will find a region that is reinventing itself as a place filled with opportunities to live, work and play in both urban and rural landscapes.
Who Will Benefit
The conference will draw a multidisciplinary audience of local elected officials, city and county staff, landscape architects, developers and builders, planners, transportation professionals and traffic engineers, public health professionals, architects, bankers, crime prevention professionals, realtors, urban designers, parks and recreation professionals, environmentalists, advocates for older adults and youth, bicycle and pedestrian advocates, advocates for social equity and affordable housing, labor representatives, and all others committed to building safer, healthier, and more livable communities everywhere.
The Program
The program will include a dynamic mix of plenaries, interactive breakouts, "hands-on" workshops, specialized trainings, and optional tours of local model projects. It will also feature the latest on cutting-edge smart growth issues, implementation tools and strategies, best practices, interactive learning experiences, new partners, new projects, and new policies. Most importantly, this dynamic event offers you the opportunity to network and coordinate with your peers as well as practitioners from many different disciplines with the same goal - building safe, healthy, and livable communities for all.
