Certainly, Buffalo is in better shape today Local Host Committee Chair than it was 30 years ago when the UB Department of Urban and Regional Planning last hosted ACSP.
The roots of much of this new growth were set in the long-term partnership of the City of Buffalo and the School of Architecture and Planning, which together created a new planning framework for Downtown Buffalo, the waterfront, and Olmsted’s park system, instituted a new form-based “Green Code,” for the city, and with a broader set of partners, crafted interlocking strategies for regional sustainability and economic development. There are still serious challenges ahead – in embedded poverty, slower job growth than many other metro areas, and the persistence of sprawl – but we are working a plan. And we are looking to the future, as evidenced by the “What’s Next for Buffalo Niagara” workshop that will be part of the ACSP conference this year.
