Thesesessions include high-level instruction that goes beyondthat of a typical breakout session. 202 Workshops arelonger—typically lasting three to four hours—and morein-depth; they’re geared toward professionals who alreadyknow the basics. The courses are much more personalthan breakout sessions and are hands-on and interactive.All 202 Workshops incur an additional fee.PLE N A RY S E S S I O N SPlenary sessions bring the entire Congress together fora shared experience.

As prosperousnewcomers flock to the urban core, tremendous strains areplaced on struggling families and communities, pushingmore toward suburban communities where povertyalleviation services are weak, commute times are long,and social fabric may be thin.

Equitable TOD can help communities remainattractive, build sustainability, and make it easier for peopleto get around. This session takes a deep dive into existingTOD case studies and research—including market analysis,value creation, and value capture—to uncover the mostimportant steps for equitable transit-oriented development.Shelley R.

Cities havelong played a central role in human survival and evolution,and will continue to do so as we combat climate change.13C N U 2 5 S E AT T L E / C N U.O R G/C N U 2 5Despite the fact that mixed-use, walkable, transit-servedcities in developed nations have lower carbon footprintsper person than their hinterlands, Urban Heat Islands areheating up cities twice as fast as climate change, potentiallydeterring people from moving to or staying in cities. And indeveloping nations, cities have lower birth rates than ruralareas, thereby reducing the earth’s total carbon footprint.Fortunately, addressing UHIs simultaneously reduces climatechange. Because they are a more immediate, manageablechallenge, people are more inclined to address UHIs,thereby rallying them in the war against climate change.This timely session illustrates how cities and towns canaddress Urban Heat Islands.Wednesday 5/3Wednesday202 Workshops9 AMA LL 2 02 WO R KS H O P S A N D TO U R S R EQ U I R EA N A D D ITI O N A L FE E .

Well-connectedstreet networks not only accommodate a region’s accessand mobility needs, but also help determine the location,type, and form of land development. These days the skillsneeded to design street networks are no longer part of thetypical repertoire of engineers and planners in America.This session explores the history, art, and key characteristicsof the well-design street networks and discusses how thesecharacteristics work in tandem to reduce household costs,traffic injuries, and greenhouse gas emissions.Norman W.

The session starts with a shortexercise in cultural competency then walks you throughthe steps of equity considerations. The project moves theaudience towards a holistic and inclusive model for framingand driving toward a pro-equity approach to design andplanning a project. Case studies and table exercises pushparticipants to build competencies in equity assessment,inclusive engagement, equity impact review, and the arrayof design and development considerations that bear onequity outcomes.Nori Catabay, Green Building Team Program Manager, King CountyGreenTools / Richard Gelb, Performance Management Lead, KingCounty Department of Natural Resources and Parks / Patti Southard,Program Manager, King County GreenTools / De’Sean Quinn, WaterQuality Planner and Project Manager, King County Department ofNatural Resources and Parks3:30-4:30 PM, Plestcheeff Auditorium / SAMThe last half century has seen the rise of a social andcommercial geography that fuses town, city, and suburbinto a new but unresolved order—the metropolitan region.To many, it’s clear that the economic building blocks of theglobal economy are regions—not nations, states, or cities. It’sequally clear that many of our environmental challenges—air and water quality, habitat restoration, and farmlandpreservation—are regional in scope. Urban thought-leaderand CNU co-founder Peter Calthorpe shares his frameworkfor the 21st-century metropolitan region, drawing on 30 years of national and international practice.Peter Calthorpe, Principal, Calthorpe Associates202 WO R KS H O P: CO M M U N IT YO R I E NTE D H O U S I N G9 AM-12 PM, Simons Board Room / SAMBetween developer-driven housing and resident-drivencohousing lies a market that is not being tapped. Acrossall age groups there is a rising desire for communityoriented living, especially in walkable neighborhoods,yet the demand is left unmet. On one hand, developersof incremental small-scale residential projects can beskittish about getting involved with community dynamics,leaving the new residents on their own to figure out thecommunity part. On the other hand, pioneering cohousingwannabees are trudging through a gruelling process of landacquisition, entitlement, financing, site planning, designand construction—with many falling to the wayside beforeopening day. There is a middle path to delivering sociallyhealthy community housing.In this engaging session, three designer-developers willshare their stories and insights about designing anddeveloping community-oriented housing models at varyingsizes and transect locations. They will outline the designelements of small-scale pocket neighborhoods that fosterhealthy, engaged communities while preserving the needfor personal space. They will demystify the soft side ofcreating community so it becomes more approachable bydevelopers. In breakout groups, participants will use theirnew understanding to design community-oriented housing inboth infill settings and larger sites, and then reflect togetheron key design patterns.Ross Chapin, Principal, Ross Chapin Architects / Grace H.

We’ll end the walking tour,which will serve as our studio for the afternoon. Here, we’lldevelop urban triage solutions that can be built into theSeattle code, review form-based code typical regulations,and develop a map to delineate where S, M, L, XL solutionsmake sense along A-Grid B-Grid.
