CNT Shares Learnings at American Planning Association Conference

CNT participated in several sessions at the recent 2006 American Planning Association Conference in San Antonio.

At the Strategies for Reducing Energy Demand through Effective Planning session, we presented on our recent planning work in Kane County, Illinois. Our work in Kane County was to help leaders in the county develop strategies and programs to address the county’s increasing electricity needs, improve energy efficiency and manage peak electricity demand.

We also organized a session with the Center for Transit Oriented Development to discuss the Affordability Index — our work to quantify the value of neighborhood accessibility in order to come up with a more accurate measure that takes into account transportation costs as well as housing.

Both sessions were well-attended and well received. View the Kane County presentation or the Affordability Index presentation.
