A few members of the Utile Urban Design and Planning team recently presented at the Southern New England American Planning Association Conference, an event which brings together planners, architects, engineers, students, and other professionals from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island for professional development, workshops, and networking.
This year’s conference took place in Newport, Rhode Island, where we shared our exciting work on resilience zoning, highway redevelopment, and regional housing strategy.
Matthew Littell, Zoë Mueller, and Emily Fang presented Case Studies in Zoning-Based Flood Risk Mitigation Across New England, a panel focused on resilience zoning case studies in Boston, MA, Providence, RI, Portland and South Portland, ME, as well as Newport, RI’s Elevating History and History Above Water initiatives, to highlight how intentional processes can produce a custom approach for each community.
Additionally, JT Keller and Zoe Mueller presented Turning Analysis into Action: How Interactive Mapping Advances Regional Housing Policy on the Cape. The session showcased our methodology, the mapping tool we developed in-house, and its supporting documentation in order to illustrate how complex parcel-level data can be distilled into actionable insights for policy implementation.
