Conference | Land Use and Local Voices: Is the City’s Land Use Process in Need of Reform?

Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

Free

Intelligent urban planning starts with intelligent conversation. That is the idea behind “Land Use and Local Voices: Is the City’s Land Use Process in Need of Reform?” The program will shed light on the city’s land use process and examine whether, and how, it should be improved.

The full-day conference, designed for planning professionals and neighborhood advocates alike, will include a variety of viewpoints -- in public policy, law, academia, real estate, government, community advocacy, and other areas -- will speak throughout the day.

PANELS

Big Apples to Oranges: What’s Distinct About NYC’s Land Use Process? Moderated by Ethel Sheffer, AICP – Principal of Insight Associates and Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation and Planning

Time for Change? Perspectives on Planning in the Five Boroughs Moderated by Eugenie Birch, Professor of Urban Research and Education at the University of Pennsylvania and Co-Director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research

Who Benefits from Community Benefit Agreements? Moderated by Vicki Been, New York University School of Law Professor, and Director of the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy

Featured speaker: Eric Lane, Professor of Public Law and Public Service at Hofstra University School of Law, and Senior Fellow at Brennan Center for Justice at N.Y.U. Law School. In 1990, Lane served as chair of the New York City Task Force on Charter Implementation. From 1986 to 1989, he served as executive director of, and counsel to, the New York City Charter Revision Commission, which was the last body to review land use in New York City. Lane will be interviewed by Manhattan Community Board 1 Chair Julie Menin.
