  • How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall
    How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall By: Anya Kamenetz, November 29, 2010 Fast Company, December 2010/Januarry 2011 Still waiting for a full reboot in Washington, D.C., an army of citizen techies is redefining civic engagement on a hyperlocal level. Ben Berkowitz had a problem. His block of State Street, an expanse of charming storefronts and wood-frame houses that stretches from the border of Yale's campus into New Haven's grittier East Rock neighborhood, kept getting hit with graffiti. The 31-year- old did everything a good citizen was supposed to do: He called the city. He left multiple voice mails. He urged his neighbor to speak up. Eventually, he founded the Upper State Street Association to foster neighborhood pride. But still, the spray paint lingered. "I was feeling that helplessness when you've left three messages, you don't know what the resolution is going to be, and you don't have a way to hold anyone accountable," he says. A programmer by trade, Berkowitz sought a technological outlet for his frustrations. What if reporting graffiti or a broken traffic light or a clogged storm drain was as easy as snapping a photo with your mobile phone? What if that report was sent directly to all the groups that might give a damn, including city hall, the police department, the local utility company, and the neighborhood watch? Even better, what if all your neighbors could see those nearby reports and lend their own voices to apply pressure and get problems fixed? His solution, SeeClickFix, launched in beta in March 2008.

  • Women's History Month
    As part of Women’s History Month, this list highlights just a few of the women who have made notable contributions to the planning field. Not all are planners, having disparate professions and expertise like activist, programmer, and architect. This list was compiled with suggestions by Ariella Cohen, from an online article called Urban Influences: Six Women Making Things Happen in Cities. Jane Jacobs One cannot have a list of notable women in the planning field without mentioning Jane Jacobs. Jane Jacobs was an activist and author in both New York and Toronto, well-known for her unconventional take on planning, architecture and economics in the 1960s. She fearlessly and openly criticized conventional planning practices during that time such as urban renewal, modern architecture and highway projects. While she made a name for herself writing for magazines such as Architectural Forum, she is most well-known for her books The Death and Life of Great American Cities and the Economy of Cities. She introduced concepts such as “eyes on the street” and “social capital”, arguing that the mixed uses that urban renewal was geared to destroy and replace in fact make a city energetic, safe and economically vital. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs http://www.citylab.com/politics/2011/11/jane-jacobs-and-power-women-planners/502/ Jennifer Pahlka Jennifer Pahlka most recently served as US Deputy Chief Technology Officer for the Obama Administration but is most well-known for founding Code for America. Code for America is a non-profit that aims to make government more transparent and connected.

  • General Plan Guidelines
    STATE OF CALIFORNIA General Plan 2017 Guidelines GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH Director’s Message fter a multi-year effort involving literally dozens of workshops, hundreds of meetings, and A thousands of participants, I am very pleased to present the 2017 version of the General Plan Guidelines. This is the first comprehensive update since 2003, and, not surprisingly, there are many changes. In an effort to reduce time, cost, and burden, we have included hundreds of links to resources, now available by a single click. We have included an on-line mapping tool, free of charge, which allows access to state and federal and other GIS data resources. The mapping tool also allows users to download and add their own GIS layers. OPR will add additional functions to the tool in the future. We have identified changes in the law and added new sections on a number of topics including health and equity. A great deal has changed in California since 2003, and the General Plan Guidelines reflect that. Most importantly, climate change and its implications permeate almost every aspect of the Guidelines, as it must. One thing that has not changed is the importance of the general plan itself and the unique perspective each jurisdiction brings to the process and the plan vision. Going forward, OPR will be adding resources and links periodically, making the Guidelines more of a living document. We encourage you to help OPR identify the best resources and links as part of this effort. Most importantly, we hope that these Guidelines help improve the planning process and promote periodic general plan updates.
