AICP CM accredited programs offered at the 2013 conference include:
Ethics for Planning & Design Professionals – 1.5 AICP CM Ethics
An up-to-date ethics training for planning and design professionals to achieve AICP Certification Maintenance credits, including public and private viewpoints, a review of the AICP code of conduct and ethical dilemma scenarios for discussion. Presented by the American Planning Association Pennsylvania Chapter.
Creating Form-Based Zoning – 1.5 AICP CM Law
With the help of the Montgomery County Planning Commission, the Borough of Narberth crafted a new system of regulating building form and uses based largely on the New Urbanism’s Smart Code. This session will deconstruct the legislation and investigate the process that formed it for elected officials and practicing planners and architects curious about implementing this technique in their own communities.
Crowdsourcing Meets Station Area Planning 1.5 AICP CM
Although planners and developers agree that compact mixed-use development belongs around transit hubs, finding common ground with citizens, businesses and transit agencies is often daunting. This session highlights three successful case studies where crowdsourcing and social media play an important role in building consensus around the places and businesses cherished by these communities.
SITES™: Chicago’s Navy Pier, a Case Study – 1 AICP CM
The SITES rating system serves as a framework for guiding and measuring sustainable design of constructed landscapes. This session introduces the Sustainable Sites Initiative, the SITES rating system, and the Chicago Navy Pier case study. Gain insight into SITES, the certification process, and engage in discussion on certification value, challenges, and opportunities.
