Webinar: Blending Conservation Design and New Urbanism
Tuesday, October 28, 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.This program describes the crossover between Conservation Design and New Urbanism, showing how they can be blended. In areas served by public water and sewer, conservation design techniques can be readily combined with TND principles to create walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, often involving infill projects and incremental growth around the community's outer edges. This program shows how higher density neighborhoods can be designed around the central organizing principle of an open space network and incorporate distinctive features of the natural and cultural landscape, producing more sustainable results. This program is based largely on Arendt's last two books: Envisioning Better Communities and Crossroads, Hamlet, Village, Town.

Planning Education at a Distance
New program at the Ohio State University offering online continuing education classes for practitioners and public officials. Planning Education at a Distance (PED) is an Internet based educational tool that provides planners and government officials with on-line urban and regional planning related continuing education opportunities. Through the integration of audio/video components, PowerPoint slides, and reading materials, PED provides participants with hands-on training to strengthen skills needed to both manage land development through planning and bring new planning techniques to your community. Courses focus on current and emerging issues facing the planning community in Ohio and the rest of the country. The result is a web-based learning experience very similar to the physical classroom but in a much more "on-demand" framework.All of our courses qualify for Kentucky Planning Continuing Education Credit, Tennessee Planning Continuing Education Credit.
