Speakers: Kalima Rose, Director of the PolicyLink Center for Infrastructure Equity, PolicyLink; Allen Fernandez-Smith, President and CEO, Urban Habitat; Nathaniel Smith, Founder and Convener, Partnership for Southern Equity; Russ Adams, Executive Director, Alliance for Metropolitan Sustainability

Powerful regional equity coalitions and networks have formed over the last decade to unite communities of color and low-income communities across a region. These coalitions steer regional planning efforts, win and preserve affordable housing near transit, foster transit service and investments in ways that connect their communities to opportunities in the region. Regional equity leaders from Oakland, the Twin Cities, and Atlanta guide participants in how to bring together diverse organizations, define priorities and roles, and work in concert to accomplish structural changes in their communities.

Comparing Coastal Responses to Promote Regional Resiliency

Speakers: Tina Shumate, Senior Technical Recruiter, Recruiting Manager, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources; Nicola Hedge, Climate Initiative Manager, The San Diego Foundation; Linda Giannelli Pratt, Chief Program Manager, Environmental Services, City of San Diego, CA

Hurricane Katrina's destruction along the Gulf Coast has required communities to rebuild from scratch, rethinking urban patterns and long-range planning. Today, new master plans across the Mississippi Gulf Coast aim to curb sprawl and rebuild compact communities with green infrastructure to manage storm water and mitigate flooding in low-lying areas. On another coast, San Diego County residents need only recall the recent multi-year drought and devastating wildfires to recognize climate change impacts bearing down on the US southwest. The region, however, is emerging as an incubator for innovative development of plans to mitigate and adapt to our changing climate, with philanthropy playing a catalytic role and local governments like the City of San Diego leading by example. Join this discussion comparing and contrasting approaches of two coastal regions to advance smart growth and promote regional climate resiliency.
