DC RisingAPA Maryland ChapterBaltimore, MD Harriet Tregoning, Director of the Washington DC Office of Planning, has worked to make DC a “walkable, bikeable, eminently liveable, globally competitive and sustainable city.” This lecture will illustrate how the DC Office of Planning has laid for years a solid foundation for this astounding success, and offer insight into how lessons learned in the District might be applied to other cities.
Tregoning will discuss the economic development in Washington, DC, where there are more than 60 cranes towering over numerous construction sites. The District is Booming. What can Baltimore Learn from DC? How can Baltimore meet the Mayor’s Growth Challenge through new and better urban planning? What can we learn from DC’s experience to help grow our city? What planning strategies have worked? How do design, growth, sustainability, and development work together for Baltimore to also rise?
Tregoning will address the following:
• DC is growing again. From 2000 to 2010 by almost 30,000 residents and another 15,000 since the last census.
• DC is young. The Millennium generation (age 20-34) is fueling the growth and is nearly 1/3 of DC’s total population.
• DC is multimodal. The District is nationally ranked #2 in walk to work and #8 in bike to work.
• DC is green. The Economist rates DC already in the top 10 greenest cities (summer 2011).
• DC is thriving. Many neighborhoods have turned from blight to stable diverse communities, such as Columbia Heights, the U Street corridor and the emerging H Street corridor.
Tregoning will help attendees:
1. Recognize design features and urban systems that attract urban growth and promote neighborhood stability and economic activity.
2. Understand policies and urban design strategies that encourage sustainable development, economic competitiveness and population growth.
3. Explore the challenges and issues of the District’s planning policies that support urban population growth.
