قسمتي از متن فيلم: Hi I’m Megan Stromberg senior editor at planning magazine at the American Planning Association and I’m here in beautiful millennium park with Bruce night who’s the planning director of Champaign Illinois in central Illinois thanks for joining me you’re welcome Bruce is also a co-chair of the 2013 national planning conference which will

Be in Chicago this April so you’re in champaign which is of course the home to the University of Illinois correct what kind of planning issues are you working on now we’re busy work implementing a new comprehensive plan that we adopted which really calls for promoting more infill development and trying to

Discourage some of the fringe development we’ve had over the years we’ve also working on a new sustainability plan which will be an element of that comprehensive plan and just completed a infill development strategic plan that we’re implementing so a lot of activity trying to continue to build our city center and make it

Strong and of course we’ve got a campus of University of Illinois in Chicago along with several other universities so that’s probably going to be a topic yeah conference connection between the two communities with the Chicago campus up here and UIUC campus as they call it down in our

Neck of the woods you admitted that you drove today but often times you take amtrak from Champaign to Chicago that’s probably a pretty easy ride it’s a great ride and hopefully one day it’ll be even better the state is working on a plan for high-speed rail between Chicago and

San Luis that would run through champagne so we’d have a 45-minute commute to Chicago if that gets completed and I know you’re in Chicago often what kinds of changes have you seen in the last several years has been a tremendous number of changes in Chicago and I think most of them for the

Positive a lot of improvements in the transportation system Chicago has got a goal to make it’s one of the most bicycle friendly communities in the country and they’ve made great strides in terms of bike lanes and protected bike lanes and bike parking facilities like the one here at Millennium Park

Millennium park itself is is a new change and very vibrant urban park space that that really has added a lot to the quality of life here in the community and just in general I think the you know the investment in improved infrastructure and pedestrian access and like it is all very positive

And you one time when we had we have been speaking before you highlighted of course that a lot of what we see in Chicago as a result of the Burnham plan of a hundred years ago are we still seeing the effects of that today certainly I think the legacy of the

Burnham plan lives on and continues to add value to the city of Chicago and its residents the lakefront area is tremendous michigan avenue and the the shopping there did you know all resulted from part of that plan and and the separation of delivery service from the upper levels with wacker drive a very

Visionary kind of improvement so yeah that that legacy continues forward and you’ve been to a number of these conferences what would you say to first-timers or people who haven’t been to a conference in a couple of years any tips yeah I think well for the conference itself you know sit down with

The program in advance and map out what you want to see it’s a big conference there’s so much offered just a really a lot of material make sure you figure out you know what you’re really trying to to learn while you’re here take advantage of the mobile workshops you know it’s a

This is a living laboratory of a city for planners and the mobile workshops will highlight some of the incredible planning work that’s going on in this region so I’d say pick out you know two or three mobile workshops and try and get out of the conference center and get

Out and see the city well thanks very much for taking the time to talk with us a pleasure again Bruce night is a planning director in champaign illinois and is a 2013 national planning conference co-chair for more information on the conference please go to planning org backslash conference
