• Centering Equity in Micromobility Planning, Policy, and Design

  WHEN:
  Monday, November 16, 2020
  12:00 pm - 1:15 pm

  Centering Equity in Micromobility Planning, Policy, and Design
  A Conversation organized by Gehl, EA Creative, Insight Civil, and Stantec.

  When: Monday, November 16, 12-1:15 PM 

  Panelists:

  • Quemuel Arroyo, Global Head of Community, Charge
  • Waffiyyah Murray, Better Bike Share Program Manager, City of Philadelphia
  • Shabazz Stuart, Founder and CEO, Oonee Pod
  • Adaryll Taylor, Chief of Staff & Administration, Transportation Planning & Management Division, NYCDOT
  • Dr. Destiny Thomas, Founder and CEO, Thrivance Group

  Moderated by:

  • Anna Muessig, Associate, Gehl    

  Before COVID-19 dramatically altered the urban landscape overnight, cities were experiencing a major shift in the way we move around: tech-based ride hailing, new micromobility options, and autonomous vehicle pilots were deployed to various degrees in cities around the world. The pandemic has simultaneously underscored the inequities present across urban mobility systems and kick-started a paradigm shift for urban streets in New York such as DOT’s open streets programs, outdoor dining, and a surge in cycling. As technologies and trends continue to shape urban transportation, we have convened an expert panel for a discussion on how to center equity in conversations about the planning, design, and policy around new micromobility options.

  Join the APA New York Metro Urban Design Committee for a conversation with the people working to shape this conversation as we ask: How do we make sure that folks that have been most left behind in transit accessibility are centered during discussions about new mobility system planning and roll out? Where has this been done successfully, what have the challenges been, and what strategies can we use to overcome them? What is the role of city agencies, designers, and mobility tech companies in developing more equitable transportation systems?

• Hindsight Conference 2020

  WHEN:
  Thursday, November 12, 2020 - Friday, November 13, 2020
  8:00 am - 6:00 pm

  

  Hindsight Conference is an all-day conference in New York City on urban planning through an equity lens. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified our nation’s structural inequities, as evident in racial disparities in deaths and access to care, rise in income inequality, and layered on top, police brutality against Black lives. This year’s conference calls for planners and policy-makers to channel our public health roots and re-center environmental justice.

  Asserting our vision for the future is necessary to prevent others from taking advantage of crisis to impose their ideologies. Black and Indigenous People of Color; People with Disabilities; Queer, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Individuals; and other historically marginalized groups, must lead the road to recovery.

  Through two half days of virtual workshops, exhibits,  and panels we challenge attendees to build a future where we all not just survive, but more importantly, thrive. We must strengthen our connections to our ancestral struggles, our historic and present-day movements, and one another, in order to build our health and our future.

• Tech Talk: Managing Uncertainty

  WHEN:
  Thursday, November 5, 2020
  6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

  Join the APA NYM Technology Committee on Thursday at 6pm EST for a conversation with David Wasserman, AICP.

  Uncertainty has always accompanied how we plan our infrastructure, but it has rarely been a core component of decision-making processes. A way forward for public works professionals to better pivot with a changing world is to engage more directly with uncertain futures through scenario-oriented design models for infrastructure planning and design. Scenario-oriented design provides professionals the ability to connect standardized datasets, metrics, and visualizations in one workflow so the connection between high-level design decisions and consequences can be measured and communicated at once.

  Please RSVP to apa.techcomm@gmail.com for zoom details, RSVP will close at 5:30pm EST.

  All are welcome, do not have to be a committee member to join!
