Livable Neighborhoods Program at Pratt Institute, Sat Oct 18

Posting this for our friends at Pratt and MAS's Community-Based Planning Task force. Should be an interesting event for any aspiring community-based planners out there.

On Saturday, October 18th, from 9a-1pm, the Municipal Art Society Planning Center, the Pratt Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment, and the Cornell Urban Scholars Program will join to host the Livable Neighborhoods Program at Pratt Institute. The Livable Neighborhoods Program, which first launched in May, 2007 at Hunter College, was created to provide communities with the knowledge, tools, and training needed to transform local vision into effective plans. Students and local community members will have an opportunity to receive NYC-specific, in-person training and reference materials on a number of planning topics, and access to a web-based network for ongoing discussion.

For more information and to register, please review the documents attached. The event will be at the Pratt Institute's Higgin's Hall at 61 St. James Place in Brooklyn.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sideya Sherman at ssherman@mas.org or 212.935.3960 x259. We look forward to your participation.
