Rightly so we are fixated on Sustainability. Too often the main focus is on the environmental aspects of ESG. As Tamae illustrates in this example, the S or Social in ESG is vitally important and remedying the poor practices of the past is essential in ensuring we create thriving and connected cities and communities.
Global Business Area Program Manager - Mobility at Arcadis - Transformation, Strategy, Growth, Equality. Revolutionizing and Building the Future of Infrastructure
Congratulations to the Chester Economic Development Authority, one of our esteemed #ThrivingCommunities. Through a collaborative effort with Delaware County and Pennsylvania DOT, their Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant application was selected for planning funds to undertake essential preliminary engineering and final design work. The focus of this project is to implement a road diet, traffic calming measures, and develop the East Coast Greenway along State Route 291. Currently, residents in Chester face numerous barriers that have isolated their community and created unsafe conditions when attempting to traverse the city. These barriers include multiple rail lines, I-95, and Pennsylvania State Route 291. Route 291, often referred to as Second Street or "a highway through a community", has posed challenges for Chester, a predominantly Black or African American city in Delaware County, southeastern Pennsylvania. Within a block of Route 291, nearly 40% of households in Chester do not have access to a vehicle, and 45% of these families are living below the poverty line. The proposed project aims to create opportunities for safe crossings over Route 291, facilitating access to recreational facilities and amenities along the Riverfront. These include the sports complex, the Riverwalk, Harrah's Casino, and Barry Bridge Park. By implementing these vital improvements, the project will significantly enhance the #qualityoflife for all residents, fostering a more equitable and inclusive community. Our Team ( The Ray Highway, Arcadis, InfraStrategies LLC, and Beverly A. Scott, Ph.D. ) was proud to support you on this initiative through the #USDOT Thriving Communities program. #bettertogether #transportation #mobility #equity #bridgingthegap #connectivity

This is a truly incredible deep dive into the history of how Massachusetts has created a region of housing scarcity and wealth segregation through zoning over the last 50 or so years. Amy Dain digs into individual municipality policy decisions and key periods in the 1970s when things changed dramatically, setting ourselves up to become a region of race, wealth and class segregation and housing scarcity on a level we couldn't have imagined. This is well worth a read to begin to understand not only how we got here... but how we can begin to claw ourselves out of this hole and rethink our region to create a better, more equitable future Greater Boston complete with housing abundance. "Profound zoning reform is needed for Greater Boston to be a beacon of equal opportunity, to strengthen society’s resilience in the face of rapid changes, to address political polarization, and make civic life just."

Imagine winning $20.5 million to transform your community with grant funding! A stellar example of a successful story regarding funding is Louisville, Kentucky. The city received $20.5 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation as part of the Rebuilding America Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. The funding is directed towards two major projects: a $15.5 million implementation grant to fund the design finalization and construction of the Reimagine 9th Street Project and a $5 million planning grant to fund design work for Broadway Street. Both projects will enhance connectivity and economic development, improving efficiency and safety. The projects also include enhancing sustainability in the proposed target areas by encouraging and offering different modes of transportation. Here are links to Louisville’s winning applications: • Broadway All The Way: https://hubs.li/Q02k2Vff0 • Reimagine 9th Street : https://hubs.li/Q02k2Srl0 As of last year, multiple cities and agencies nationwide are transforming their communities with grant funding. Turn your grant dreams into a reality - we are here to help! #RoadSafety #GrantFunding #SustainableCities #FutureMobility

Some of you may know about my current involvement in Westbrook government. However, this November 7th, I plan on taking the next step. With this post, I'm pleased to announce my candidacy for the Westbrook Zoning Commission. As a young person, I believe I have a unique point of view. When perfected, Zoning Commissions are a force for good---promoting economic development, encouraging environmental sustainability, and driving businesses into town. As a voting member of the Westbrook Zoning Commission, I will promote the following: ♻ Sustainable Infrastructure: As a waterfront town, global climate change poses an enormous threat. Promoting carbon-neutral and storm-resistant infrastructure can ensure Westbrook will continue to grow for generations to come. 📈 Economic Development: Westbrook's waterfront location and access to Route 1 and I-95 allows for high economic prospect. Zoning should be used to promote new business in town, not push them away with overly-complex regulations. 🏘 Affordable Housing: As of now, there aren't many affordable housing developments in town, discouraging young or lower-income people from living here. As a young person myself, having options for future housing is important. 🏢 Town Center Revitalization: For too long, the Westbrook Town Center has been in need of a rejuvenation. Developing the Town Center into a walkable, shoppable, and social area will promote a larger sense of community and bring new faces into town. 🏰 Historic Preservation: Westbrook has an extremely rich history, one that not many people know of. Preserving and upkeeping historic architecture is important to ensure our history can be visualized for generations to come. You can find me on the ballet in Row A this November 7th, from 6am - 8pm, at the Theresa Mulvey Center, 866 Boston Post Road, Westbrook, CT 06498. #electionday #westbrook #localgovernment #vote

Inspiring panel by Maria Torres-Springer Lisa Bova-Hiatt James Rubin Eva Trimble who covered the spectrum from the intentions of the leadership (many of whom personally experienced housing insecurity); to clear progress and details on HUD Agreement Pillars through the Transformation Plan; and in between ongoing and new recapitalization programs such as New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust and linkages to sustainability funding and ability to source it. #NYHC #Housing #sustainability

One of the recent projects I have been working on.
HRC provided concept documents to assist the City of Livonia in securing an $8 million grant from Wayne County to build their new Senior Center. The Center will be located next to the Jack E. Kirksey Community Recreation Center at Five Mile and Hubbard. HRC’s Adrianna Melchior is the lead architect for the project. Stay tuned for project updates! #hrcengr #livoniacommunity

Innovators at Lincoln Avenue Communities have begun construction on Willis Senior Lofts, an affordable housing development for lower-income seniors in Rochelle, Illinois. Forty-five units will be set aside for households earning less than 60% of the median area income. This project is not only socially conscious but also environmentally sustainable, aiming for Enterprise Green and Net Zero-certification. The project shows a commendable mix of private commitment, community participation and diverse financial instruments, underscoring the importance of innovative solutions in creating essential housing options for the aging population.

🏡 To combat the affordable housing crisis, City of Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has promised to prioritize efforts to increase affordable housing during her electoral term. This past summer, she proposed adjusting the Inclusionary Development Policy (IPD) to reserve 17% of new commercial developments for income-restricted units instead of the current 13%. Additionally, she proposed reserving 3% for Section 8 voucher holders. While these increases may seem minimal, the changes enable more families to find affordable housing. https://lnkd.in/ehGTAhHz Learn more about DGT’s involvement in progressive housing legislation: https://lnkd.in/e3cWUYwy #subsurfaceutilitymapping #sum #utilities #facilitiesmanagement #facilities
