@blackpoll_esri thanks we are having a great time in Boston @#apa2011 stop by say hi

@counti8 Agreed. I like the thought of both horizontal & vertical maps/info. Ideal: less vertical & more horizontal. #apa2011

@counti8 It's probably not you or the panel. Multimodal transportation isn't as sexy a research topic as commuters in townhouses. #apa2011

@cubitplanning Is doing an excellent job of finding recruits to be on twitter at #APA2011. I hope to do the same at #APPI2011. :)

@daniellerch So far is #APA2011, I am sure, planning has been ... art. science, engineerimg, technology :)

@EvansCowley @mpopek They said Gen Y was through age 37 and not in the prime child bearing years. #apa2011

@EvansCowley @shana_johnson I think they meant it was up to 37 in 2015, which is up to 33 now (born after 1978, I guess) #apa2011

@gohomedorothy never heard that before, but looking at my grandparents, I can see how it evolved. (The concept, not the name.) #apa2011

@HampsteadLiving, just gave a shoutout to Hampstead Farms in#APA2011 session on community food systems. So proud this innovation is in #AL.

@HollyStClair Is that employment fact (2008 levels in 2021) for planners only or for all industries in the US? #apa2011

@jane_lafleur Hello there :) But, the trend will be Public & Private Partnerships, right? #APA2011

@mpopek @EvansCowley There is an assumption that households w/ kids want SFH, but this is not a universal truth even today.#apa2011

@mpopek Ah sorry I though you responded to an earlier comment. Yeah I think the nat'l AVERAGE age at first birth is 25 or 26.#apa2011

@mpopek Also I'm a Gen Y mom, there are lots of older moms in major metros, but still some of us young moms too! We're overlooked. #apa2011

@omarjpeters The tweet screens are awesome! Every year it's great to see more & more planners tweeting! #apa2011

@pahlkadot Thnak you 4 dreaming up and leading this movement of CfA that we are preaching here at #apa2011 the energy here is sooo awesome!

@shana_johnson @mpopek hmm most friends are gen y and many have kids not sure why they say gen y isn't child bearing #apa2011

@shana_johnson @mpopek I agree most of the gen y s I know with kids are living in urban infill and other mixed use environments#apa2011

@shana_johnson @mpopek so they said gen y is up to 37? What was said about not having kids? #apa2011

@shana_johnson Hello there from Jakarta. How is your progress on the social & economic development of #apa2011 ? Best wishes :)

@shana_johnson totally agree. Apparently it's not just the presenters who think Gen X are only ones of child-rearing age.#apa2011

“@BenBeahm: @jcreinhardt where is the #apa2011 taking place?”. It's in Boston at the Hynes convention center.

“@cubitplanning: RT @rachelalonso: Community gardens in Boston save families $400-500 a year. #apa2011” Awesome to quantify it!

How can Cleveland maintain urban form with housing and pop loss. What role does urban ag play? #apa2011

I don't want to be cruel, but some presenters at #apa2011 can suck the life out of a room and the interest out of fascinating topics.

I wouldn't say we are doing the applications layer yet... the participation process needs to evolve with it #apa2011

Ideas for rebuilding Port-au-Prince: autonomous housing with rooftop gardens, rainwater capture, solar for cooking #APA2011

If some demographics arent coming to public meetings. Go out to them. Do "Stoop surveys" like @theplacematters did for @albany2030 #apa2011

If there was any doubt in my mind that having a BA in poli-sci would give me an edge in the field of planning, #APA2011 has eliminated it.

@benjiedlp giving the stats about how much data and cool things happening with it at #apa2011

@bhmbrooks @cvillian that is the critical question. How do we move participation up arnsteins ladder of participation? #apa2011

@bhmbrooks and she just answered your question about whether it moves too fast to keep up with rules. #apa2011

@bhmbrooks I hope this isn't intentional, but you're definitely right. Any ideas to fix this? #apa2011

@bhmbrooks yes we need to be flexible but at least understand foundational standards #apa2011

@cvillian depends on the level of engagement and what the participation aims to accomplish. In many ways SM can be a means of both #APA2011

@cvillian how about both? Extending the debate more openly to a different audience? #apa2011

@georgiamoon too true. Doesn't mean planners should be giving up; possibly integrating old persuasion techniques could help?#apa2011

EvansCowley Jennifer Cowley @npstorey #apa2011 need good social media success stories.

@HilaryPerkins @kssoup That is not to sell social media short- it has advantages over its predecessors but it is not "formless"#apa2011

@jenhoverstad Thanks for coming to the @APA_EDD reception at#apa2011! It was great to meet you!

@kssoup critical prob is cities ask for social media but they are clueless about what it is. #apa2011

@kssoup database it and then submit that sheet. But social media isn't a great tool for say rezoning hearings #apa2011

@mpopek I think focus and targeting is key; e.g. use#socialmediaplanning to connect to diverse youth & their families#apa2011 #fb #li

@mpopek I think it means we need to leverage how SM is relevant & how to analyze it. Exp to real can happen if we make it happen.#apa2011

@mpopek I'd bet the already built disasters are highways & other auto-related infrastructure. #apa2011

@mpopek It's strong on getting the word out but comes up well short in encouraging dialogue. Unless you have two bull horns .#apa2011

@mpopek no surprise there sox media session should have nonstop tweeting #apa2011

@mpopek Profession is changing; but engagement strategies still need to value/facilitate direct personal cnxn/participation #apa2011#fb #li

@mpopek yep depressing but at least they are open to experiments. From experiments we can push for adoption.#apa2011

#apa2011 @benberkowitz says @seeclicfix trying to create Farmville for planning. Doing it through Facebook app. Crowdsourcing planning!

#apa2011 @seeclickfix is the social version of 311 reporting. Groups sign up to take responsibility for area. Media partnerships helped.

#apa2011 Augmented reality great for "what-if" and "imagine" scenarios; lets people understand what an idea or plan would look like.

#apa2011 Case studies: Buffalo Greenway/social mapping; San Diego Envision 2050/data visualization; Chicago Architectural Tour/app-podcast.

Powerful #econdev argument for why #cities should embrace on-street bike parking: @ellyblue grist.org/biking/2011-04… #cplan#apa2011

Preventing employees from posting to noncity blogs. What? What about our job of reaching out to engage with ppl where they are?#apa2011

The planners at #apa2011 seem to have been wowed by Mayor Menino's speech, as in words out of his mouth. #bospoli

The rise of the IMMBY: I Mapped My Back Yard. http://bit.ly/eF3rU9Thx, @theplacematters #APA2011

The soon to be distributed "seedling incubator" greenhouse at ReVision Farm #apa2011 #urbanaglocalfood yfrog.com/gy7p6jlj

The tools for planners cont'd: Apps and podcasts for local info, tours. And now, @benberkowitz! #apa2011

These ethics issues with soc media make me lean towards using it for information dissemination, as opposed to participation. #apa2011

This morning's ethics session isn't so much about ethics. The session should have been called: Social Media Best Practices.#APA2011

THX! RT @npstorey @placevision @benberkowitz @challer - great job. What's Next for Planning Tech was the best preso I attended at#apa2011

Time for the annual session of Torture the Planning Director...! Better them than me... #APA2011 http://yfrog.com/h4x1zhupj

Truth. RT @vebah @bogrosemary The Silver Line is a terrible example of BRT #apa2011 #mbta

Waiting to board our flight back to KCMO - thanks to Boston & all the people who worked so hard to make #apa2011 a success. Job well done!

What are people looking for in a community? Jobs, then qual of life. Via @vhb http://bit.ly/hHn01m #econdev #apa2011 (fixed link)

Why have #cities come back? According to Glaeser, because "Knowledge is more important than space." #APA2011 #CPlan#urbanism

Wow really? Nobody can find the speaker for Midwestern High Speed Rail right now. #apa2011

Wrapping up with a Thoreau anecdote. Very appropriate. Thanks, Boston, for a great #APA2011 conference!

So can I just say that @cubitplanning was awesome at #apa2011and I'm already loving all the tools she shared with me? Thanks so much!

@terracurtis just slides for now, http://bit.ly/eoOLy4 but am curious when and where APA will post the full presentation w/ audio#apa2011

@challer will your "What's next for planning technology" slides be posted with audio, or just slides? missed the session. #apa2011
