قسمتي از متن فيلم: Hi I’m vegan stromberg I’m the executive editor at planning magazine the member publication of the American Planning Association I’m here in Seattle at our national planning conference where we have near record attendance we’re all very excited I have two guests with me today one is Lynn Richards she’s the

President and CEO of the Congress for the new urbanism and the other of course is Jim Dryden the american planning association executive director thanks so much for joining me foreclosure um planners are certainly familiar with CNU limb but maybe you could remind us a little bit about the organization how

Many members you have what its mission is absolutely first I want to say thank you so much for inviting me to be here it is such a pleasure to be here in Seattle with all the excitement and the vibrancy that you can feel with the at the Congress so at the conference so

Thank you so much and Jen thank you so much for extending an invitation I’m so glad that we have an opportunity to do this so seeing you was formed in 1993 is an alternative to change the conversation around sprawling development patterns we have twenty six hundred members who are incredibly

Active and engaged and the mission of seeing you is to build places people love I think we can all agree whether you come at it from a planning and development or transportation we want to create places where people and businesses can thrive and prosper and those characteristics generally are very

Similar and understandable to us all are they walkable livable they sustainable do you have you know mixed-use do you have a wide range of choices and wearing how to live work playing it around engine maybe you can remind everybody some of APA vital stats sure the result of a merger of two

Organizations about 40 years ago the American Planning Association helps build great communities we’re pretty big tent have diverse membership totaling about 38,000 6500 of whom have joined us here in sustainable Seattle this week to talk about issues affecting the build community we include professionally trained planners as well as citizens who

Are interested in planning and frankly a very wide array of interested people come from many different disciplines and we’re excited at the opportunity to have this sort of exchange so a fun fact is that you two both started your news at both APA and CNU in July very recently

In July 2014 Jim what are some of the challenges and opportunities that you saw in those first few weeks and months does it feel differently almost a year in at your first conference yes yeah let me start with that question and it certainly does feel differently both a

Challenge in an opportunity I think is the fact that I come from outside of the planning profession and my career initially in Lhasa as a litigator for the federal government in health care and then later in association management health care associations for the last 20 years means that i do not have the

Training education and experience with the issues that our common discussed that APA CNU and in the planning community there is however also an opportunity for me to bring some of that experience in association management to help the 38,000 members who are experts on those topics to be able to help educate

Advocate and tell the great story of planning how about you tell us about your first whatever nine months well it’s a it has been a it has been an amazing experience absolutely it I so sorry we’ve been sharing our experiences I think together with your background in

The field and some of my experience in association manager we actually should partner up and maybe jointly I guess it if you don’t know the story we actually were being interviewed for our positions this is a great at the exact same time in the same building on the same floor

Conference room apart we kill each other just in the air no the boards were joking that they wanted to like exchange the interviewees that they would send me into a PA and they would send Jimin to see in you and that would have been very interesting I’m sure for

All of us I would have been I would have been quite taken back so but but it does get at a similarity of interest of the organization’s with our missions are are not to merchant but I think what Jim was saying I want to pick up on what he was

Saying coming in from the outside so during my interview process when the board member said when do you consider yourself an insider and outsider so certainly I’ve been working in the field of community design and develop for almost 15 years at the US EPA the smart growth program but I hadn’t been a

Core part of the Congress for the New Urbanism I had attended congress’s I had participated in their work but I wasn’t when I would consider a court insider so coming in in July I had to learn the culture of what makes about what makes New Urbanism very different from smart

Bro even though the goals are the same we both want to create again with APA and other organizations places people love like amazing places that are vibrant and prosperous how you do that what are the tools where the mechanisms with culture than dorms is very different between the organization so I

Had to get up to speed on that shifting out to Chicago going back and forth between again Jen and I split our time between Chicago and DC which which also presents a number of challenges but also opportunities so it has been amazing and the touch point for me to be perfectly

Honest our numbers i have i have a great board i have amazing friends who’ve been supporting me but it’s the members who have constantly been my touchstone because they’re the folks that take the time to call me up to say you know you need to consider x y and z and they’re

Absolutely right and I have had the pleasure of working with so many seeing new members over the last 10 or so years and they’re always some of my favorite people so smart so dedicated it just thrills me to be able to say that the CNU members are the thought leaders

There are also APA members and AIA but they are these thought leaders on the best way to design plan and implement great places and so I just feel absolutely thrilled and honored to be working for we share members and I think that ought us yeah one of the things that we want

To make sure that is it lost in this we are not necessarily two different organizations and assets in fact you graciously allowed one of your board members to serve on our jury award committee that just gave out I think about a dozen national planning awards and the similarity of the way that both

Organizations look at what we’re trying to achieve in planning I think is what’s more important than whether there are different mechanisms for getting to that end result absolutely absolutely and i am so welcoming this this relationship in the end of strategic partnership with APA because if seeing you really has

These these thought leaders and there are also APA members and you all have connections with thirty eight thousand members worldwide how excellent is that that if we come up with a new tool or a new idea because we’re constantly churning around we look at cities and neighborhoods and streets as

Laboratories constantly looking for how to do it better and then to be able to partner with APA and you can instantly disseminate it i mean this this is this is going to be an amazing partnership of how we can deepen the collaboration deepen it the implementation help communities get to places where they

Want to be through partnerships like this i’m just absolutely thrilled what are some of the areas you see that are particularly ripe for partnership Jim you mentioned your experience in the healthcare field before it’s as health an area where we might see more work together or with with CNU apaa all these

Different organizations certainly and in looking at that advocacy for the mutual interests of our organizations and much broader coalition’s that we all are involved with I have been struck in my first nine months now the frequency at which public health and the importance of public health in planning is brought up

By every partner that I have sat down with housing transportation advocacy coalition’s my first meeting was with the Surgeon General of the United States which was frankly a bit surprising to me in expectations of health the number-one priority for our organization at this time we have a number of activities that

We’re very proud of and this year none more so than the grant we received from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention three million dollars in year one and we hope ultimately nine million dollars over three years to foster relations at the local level between landing officials and public health

Officials we must give that money to our state chapters and in partnership with the state chapters of the American Public Health Association we’re happy to say we received a very high number of quality proposals that were vetted by both our organization and the CDC representatives and we have given out

The first 2.5 million dollars of that it’s a nice feeling as an executive director to be able to say to one’s chapters we have three million dollars give you and if it goes well we have another six million dollars over the next two years public health and the importance of building communities that

Reduce chronic disease in this generation let’s make our children and grandchildren healthier as a result of what we do it gyms absolutely right that is one thing that I have noticed since coming on as well as the importance of health so what’s seeing you does is that we try to implement policy through

Design so how can you design a community how can you design the areas that are near and jacent to medical facilities how can you use design as a tool to create healthier outcomes and I think that that’s a really important point that I want to under or because it’s not only public health

Right it’s also economic health and its environmental health as well so so this idea around health for me has a very holistic solution or holistic meaning and across the board I’m seeing a lot of folks wanting to reach out and to partner with us that are very interested

In the policy and then we bring the design piece in and that really is a winning combination additionally I think as you talk about emerging trends the affordable care act which was passed and we’re just beginning to see the new implementation on this the health insurance companies you have a whole

Field of folks getting engaged in community design and development that haven’t necessarily been there before and I think that that’s an area that’s really going to grow I know the health insurance companies want to engage in healthy community design to reduce their they’re out ways right so there is a

Real business case to be made here and and I think that positioning or organizations to serve as technical advisers to serve as that kind of on the ground this is how you can make the best benefit from the investments that you’re making so your MTG multiple community

Outcomes just not one so health is a great area and I’m so glad that you brought that up Jeff are there any others any other emerging issues that come to mind that you see areas of collaboration possible or that you’re just maybe haven’t figured out how to tap I think partnering partnering on

That the coding enabling the legal framework there’s been a lot of work between our organizations in the past around creating you know different examples of coding will be a tweet ND or a range of your model codes and ordinances it’s that area again on the implementation piece that I feel that we

Have a lot to collaborate on and I see a collaborative partnership moving forward in the codeine areas as as another one lead ND and the US Green Building yes oh and and the constellation of activities related worldwide well you are basically that the atmosphere does not and at our

National borders and the cooperation internationally is equally important I think that the conversation has changed in my mind the core mission or the core goal that seeing you founders had and the 90s has been achieved the conversation is no longer whether or not we should we should design our

Communities differently but how what are the range of tools how can we accelerate the pace of change I think across the board when I speak with mayor’s local government officials alderman there there is a thirst how can we begin to use our municipal investments in a way that need multiple community outcomes

How can we attract developers to this area where you have seen decades of disinvestment right how can we begin thinking about designing for affordability as just a for example so in my mind partnering not only with APA but the range of organizations as you said the constellation enables all of us

To accelerate the pace of change advocacy was mentioned education yeah of each other are our own members shared or different but but the public the government agencies departments and officials that we need to have listened to us more than perhaps they are at the moment as well as broader constituencies

In the United States and around the world are some of the kinds of activities communication could take a lot of different forms this is 1 this is great meetings joint meetings coalition’s partnership but also a research applied research if that’s something that’s relevant to the issues that we’re discussing is something I

Think we should be exploring a little bit more oh my gosh that’s it that’s a terrific idea I would absolutely love to I have a whole list by the way they were but I think that that absolutely represents that the kind of where we are

Right now with Jim coming in New with me coming in it as kind of both outsiders the value of that to both of our organizations is a fresh eyes on okay this is how you always done things in the past but is that really the right

Way and these are the types of questions that I have been asking my board asking the members and Anna coat and it’s correlating or its coinciding with this broader I feel kind of shift in the place making movement as well folks are saying well it’s always been one

Organization you know a p8 is planning well but you don’t really your APA members are just as much on the ground doing implementation is seeing you members and seeing you which has always been kind of the realm for for active design architects urban designers well

Guess what we have a lot of planners we have a lot of local governments we have a lot of APA members I think that you’re seeing is real convergence of holistic solutions multidisciplinary where you need everybody from the stakeholder the communicator the transportation engineer the Public Works official everybody needs to be

Pulling in the same direction and that’s where I feel that there’s a lot of synergies between our organizations and I would absolutely agree we are open to new and broader definitions of partnership and you mentioned a number of related disciplines there are others that we are also excited to partner with

And look for those same kinds of advocacy education coalition building activities that we’re discussing well I want to thank you both for taking time out of this very busy conference luckily very busy conference to sit down and chat with us and you have Lynn you have a busy conference coming up yourself yes
