SUMMARY:InterActions LA 2025
DESCRIPTION:InterActions LA 2025: Advancing Housing & Transportation Solutions\nTo achieve California’s ambitious goals of addressing the housing crisis\, improving the transportation system\, enhancing people’s lives\, and mitigating climate change\, governments and agencies need to adopt new approaches to longstanding policy challenges. Academic research offers some solutions\, but how to best implement these solutions remains a tricky question. At InterActions LA\, the Lewis Center strives for answers from people who have been successful in their own cities. \nBy bringing together local leaders with policymakers and government officials from outside of Los Angeles and California\, InterActions LA ignites conversations and exchanges ideas to increase equity and sustainability in the state’s housing and transportation sectors. \nRegistration\nRegistration fee includes day’s programming\, plus breakfast\, lunch and reception. \nRegular: $50 \nStudents & Nonprofits: $10-25 \nRegister Today \nSchedule\nSchedule is subject to change as more speakers are confirmed. Visit event site for up-to-date information. \n8:30 am | Breakfast \n9 am | Welcome and Keynote Speaker \n9:30 am | Panel 1 | Housing Affordability at the Household and Community Level \nSouthern California cities must chart a new course on housing and land use policy. They must plan for much more housing production and meet ambitious affordable housing targets\, overcoming tensions between these two goals\, and they must do so in ways that break down historical segregation patterns. This has proven challenging\, with many entrenched interests opposing these changes. These challenges are not unique to Southern California\, however\, and other West Coast cities have made great progress reforming their policies in recent years. They join us to share the nuts and bolts of their reforms\, their early impacts\, and the work and partnerships that made them possible. \n\nSpencer Gardner\, Planning Director\, City of Spokane\nMahdi Manji\, Director of Public Policy\, Inner City Law Center\n\n11 am | Panel 2 | Program and Infrastructure Approaches to Transportation Equity \nCities and transportation agencies must improve transportation systems to ensure the state meets greenhouse gas emission targets and that transportation access does not further disadvantage people and communities. Delivering innovative improvements requires new transportation management approaches like managing driving and reallocating street space. Cities can also enact programs that help address other transportation barriers and improve safety. This session explores approaches that innovate using infrastructure and programmatic approaches to better address transportation challenges and find ways to meet stated community needs. \n\nMadeline Feig\, Transportation Wallet: Access for All Program Coordinator\, Portland Bureau of Transportation\nGreg Francese\, Transportation Planner\, City of Hoboken\n\n12:15 pm | Lunch \n1:15 pm | Panel 3 | Making Change Happen Locally \nThis session will be a moderated discussion among local leaders to reflect on the themes previously discussed during the day and share how agencies and groups in the Los Angeles region can work to implement new approaches in housing and transportation. Where will leadership come from? What changes can fit within existing processes? Where is the political appetite and opportunity windows to change away from the status quo? \n2:15 pm | Closing Remarks \n2:30 pm | Reception \n

SUMMARY:Housing for Black People by Black People
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE \nIn this UCLA Luskin Lecture\, experts in housing and real estate will discuss what they and others are doing to address the challenges of limited wealth\, investment\, and ownership in Black communities\, and to improve housing opportunities in those neighborhoods. \nHousing and real estate development were instrumental in the concentration of Black disadvantage in U.S. cities. Government and private actors erected barriers to investment in Black communities and homeownership by Black households\, producing a system that equates housing conditions with race. Now\, many Black neighborhoods are locked in a downward spiral of devaluation\, disinvestment\, and deterioration. When investments are made\, low homeownership rates in Black neighborhoods mean many longtime residents do not benefit from rising property values\, and they are increasingly priced out of rental housing as well.  \nThis panel discussion will feature Devean George\, a three-time NBA champion with the Lakers and current president of Building Blocks\, a housing development company in Minneapolis; Malcolm Johnson\, CEO of Langdon Park Capital\, which invests in affordable and workforce housing in Black and Latino communities; and Malika Billingslea\, senior development advisor at NEOO Partners\, a commercial real estate development and planning firm. In a session moderated by Professor Michael Lens\, they will discuss the history of Black disadvantage in U.S. cities and provide real-world examples of how they and other Black leaders are investing in Black communities and housing.

SUMMARY:Planners are Creative: Art\, Culture and Imagination in Planning
DESCRIPTION:A UC Regents Lecture by Mallory Rukhsana Nezam\nThis lecture is open to the public. Admission is free\, but registration is required for each attendee. RSVP HERE \n5:45 p.m. Check-in & Reception\n6:30 p.m. Lecture \nArts and culture strategies in urban planning are evident around the country\, with creative placemaking becoming a buzzed-about practice. Planning activities like cultural planning and cultural economic development similarly interact with art and culture\, especially when produced in collaboration with creative people embedded in communities who help translate complex information in culturally relevant ways. Planners themselves bring so much creativity\, and this talk will explore this context\, focusing on how planners and planning departments may evolve their practices around creativity and imagination to deepen their work and foster equity. \nAbout the Speaker\nMallory Rukhsana Nezam is a cross-sector culture-maker who loves cities and believes they have the tools to become more just and joyful. Her practice\, Justice + Joy\, engages stakeholders across sectors to de-silo the way cities are run and build new models for creative\, interdisciplinary collaboration. Rukhsana Nezam earned a master’s of design from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design\, where she began research on artist residencies in government. She is co-founder of a lab focusing on embedding artists in government\, CAIR Lab (Civic Artists in Residence)\, and is currently a senior cultural policy fellow with the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies\, exploring a national platform for collaboration between the public sector and the arts. She has helped build arts and culture teams at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council of Boston\, Transportation for America and PolicyLink. Raised in Missouri\, she is the founding director of St. Louis Improv Anywhere\, a performance art collective. \nPart of the Transformative Action series: \nInformation is powerful only when it’s in a form that can guide achievable change. This year\, the Luskin School is highlighting innovators — here and elsewhere — turning vision into reality and producing Transformative Action. \nPARKING and TRANSIT\nPublic transportation: Big Blue Bus (Routes 2 and 17)\, Culver CityBus (Line 6)\, Metro\nRide hailing locations: Gateway Plaza\, Luskin Conference Center\nLot 8 Parking: Self-parking is available in UCLA Parking Structure 8\, Level 4\, directly across the street from the center: 405 Hilgard Ave\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095.\nParking Rates at Pay-By-Space stations – All day: $15\, After 4pm: $3-5 (1-2 hours)\, $10 (all night)\nPay-By-Space only has a limited number of stalls available. \nLand and Labor Acknowledgement \nAs a land grant institution\, UCLA acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin\, So. Channel Islands) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the taraaxotam (Indigenous peoples) in this place. We pay our respects to Honuukvetam (Ancestors)\, elders\, and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past\, present and emerging. \nWe hold sacred the labor of enslaved Africans and immigrants\, often exploited\, indentured and underpaid\, that built and continue to serve our institutions of higher education.  We honor the labor and resistance of these ancestors\, acknowledge that we benefit from this land and labor\, and strive to work towards liberation for all.

SUMMARY:InterActions LA: From Housing Crossroads to Transportation Connections
DESCRIPTION:How can California’s recent housing advances be coupled with new transportation approaches to reach shared state goals?\nRegister Today >>\nApply for Scholarship >> \nAcross California\, people in metropolitan areas are facing an acute housing shortage\, driving up rental prices and pushing home ownership further and further out of reach. The California Legislature has taken an active role in increasing housing production and protecting tenants. But\, at the same time\, to achieve state climate goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions\, these housing advances must be coupled with transportation approaches that ensure new housing development does not continue to favor car-based mobility. Progress toward connecting housing and transportation priorities requires advancing state\, regional\, and local approaches. \nThis year’s InterActions LA event will discuss the past and future housing and transportation goals\, building on panels from the 2022 UCLA Arrowhead Symposium: California’s Housing Crossroads. \nBack in person at The California Endowment\, InterActions LA will include presentations and discussions covering legislative updates\, research\, case studies\, and organizing approaches. As California continues to invest significant time in advancing housing legislation and large amounts of financial resources in transportation\, what are these investments yielding in terms of results\, and what still needs to be done? In particular\, we will discuss challenges and solutions around the most promising recent legislative efforts at the state\, regional\, and local levels. What are the limitations of state-led planning on advancing housing and transportation goals? What are harmonious approaches? \nSchedule\n8:30 AM | Registration and breakfast\n9:00 AM | Welcome and Keynote Address from Mike Bonin\, former Los Angeles City Councilmember\n9:30 AM | Panel 1 discussion of recent state legislative developments in housing and transportation. This legislative focus will be paired with research insights into current transportation and housing connections and challenges.\n11:00 AM | Panel 2 presentation of case studies and recent research focusing on the results from local and state programs working to address housing and transportation.\nLunch\n1:15 PM | Panel 3 discussion on organizing\, implementing\, and next steps.\n2:30 PM | Closing remarks\nReception \nRegistration and Scholarship Opportunity\nThe regular registration fee of $99 includes access to the full programming and materials\, plus breakfast\, lunch and reception. Scholarship opportunities are available to cover the complete costs of registration. Priority will go to those who work to advance racial and social justice in housing and transportation as part of their compensated or uncompensated work\, those for whom the event would aid in their professional development\, and those with a diversity of perspectives and lived experiences or who have been marginalized from governmental and academic power structures. Students are encouraged to apply. \nRegister Today >>\nApply for Scholarship >> \nFor more information and full program\, visit the event page.

SUMMARY:Journey for Water\, Climate and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Meyer and Renee Luskin Lecture Series \nCheck-in begins at 5:30pm with the discussion following at 6:00pm. \nRSVP HERE \n\n\nThis event features MacArthur “genius” award-winning activist Catherine Coleman Flowers and her groundbreaking\, community-driven work on the previously invisible problem of inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure in rural communities in the United States. Flowers’ journey is discussed in the broader context of national climate and environmental justice advocacy. \nThe second half of the event will feature Catherine in discussion with Joaquin Esquivel\, chair of the California State Water Resources Control Board (California Water Board)\, and Megan Mullin\, faculty director of the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation (LCI). The discussion will include the sanitation equity work that will soon be launched by LCI’s Human Right to Water Solutions Lab in collaboration with the California Water Board and partners. \nCatherine Coleman Flowersis an internationally recognized environmental activist\, MacArthur “genius” grant recipient\, and author. She has dedicated her life’s work to advocating for environmental justice\, primarily equal access to clean water and functional sanitation for communities across the United States. \nFounder of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice (CREEJ)\, Flowers has spent her career promoting equal access to clean water\, air\, sanitation\, and soil to reduce health and economic disparities in marginalized\, rural communities. In addition\, Flowers serves as Rural Development Manager for Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)\, is a Board Member for the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary\, and sits on the Board of Directors for the Climate Reality Project and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Flowers is also Co-Chair of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Commission on Accelerating Climate Action and Practitioner in Residence at Duke University. \nIn 2021\, her leadership and fervor in fighting for solutions to these issues led her to one of her most notable appointments yet — Vice Chair of the Biden Administration’s inaugural White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council. Flowers was also named Levenick Resident Scholar in Sustainable Leadership at the University of Illinois for the spring 2021 and was awarded an honorary PhD in science from Wesleyan University. \nAs the author of Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret\, Flowers shares her inspiring story of advocacy\, from childhood to environmental justice champion. She discusses sanitation and its correlation with systemic class\, racial\, and geographic prejudice that affects people across the United States. She has been featured in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Bloomberg\, The Guardian\, and on PBS. \n\n\n\n\n  \nRSVP required for admittance.\nAdmission is free\, but registration is required for each attendee. \nParking\nPublic transportation: Big Blue Bus (Routes 2 and 17)\, Culver CityBus (Line 6)\, Metro\nRide hailing locations: Gateway Plaza\, Luskin Conference Center\nOn-site parking available for $14 (Lot 2\, Lot 8) \nThe Luskin School of Public Affairs at UCLA acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So.

SUMMARY:Gun Violence and School Safety
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here \nSeating and lunch will be available on a first come\, first served basis. \nMass shootings at U.S. schools have dominated headlines and terrified students\, parents\, educators and communities. Yet new research shows a steep and steady reduction in serious forms of violence\, substance use and bullying behaviors across California’s middle and high school campuses. \nHow do we reconcile the rise in campus shootings with the reduction in day-to-day violence at school? Which policies and programs have succeeded in preventing victimization and improving school climate — and which have failed? \nUCLA Social Welfare Professor Ron Avi Astor\, an expert on school safety and co-author of new research published in the World Journal of Pediatrics\, will bring context and clarity to these questions at a lunchtime discussion on Thursday\, April 27\, in Room 2355 of the UCLA Luskin Public Affairs Building. A Q&A will follow the talk. \nAstor’s study\, which analyzed the California Healthy Kids Survey of more than 6 million students from 2001 to 2019\, showed reductions in physical fights and weapons-related behaviors\, as well as non-physical types of victimization such as harassment and bullying. Learn more about the findings and hear recommendations for how to create safe and welcoming campuses in California and beyond.

SUMMARY:Right to Housing
DESCRIPTION:At a time of mass homelessness\, deepening tenant precarity\, and the criminalization of poverty\, housing justice movements are pushing for a right to housing in California. In this convening\, current and former UN Special Rapporteurs on Adequate Housing provide insight and guidance on key elements of such a right\, how such a right can be informed by an international human rights framework\, and how such a right can become an actionable government obligation. In conversation with prominent housing justice leaders\, they will take up questions such as: What does the right to housing mean for those without a right to recognized housing\, notably unhoused communities? How can the right to housing address the effects of global financialization on housing markets and housing systems? Is there a vision of social housing that can be a core part of such a right? How might the right to housing remake highly unequal relations of property and land? \nFeaturing UN Special Rapporteurs on the Right to Adequate Housing:\nLeilani Farha\, 2014 – 2020\nBalakrishnan Rajagopal\, 2020 – 2026\nRaquel Rolnik\, 2008 – 2014 \nWith commentary by:\nGary Blasi\, Tenant Power Toolkit\nClarissa Woo Hermosillo\, ACLU Southern California\nChristina Livingston\, ACCE\nPete White\, Los Angeles Community Action Network \nChaired by:\nAnanya Roy\, UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy

SUMMARY:Perloff Lecture: Karen Seto
DESCRIPTION:Urbanization and the Planet: Current Trends — Karen Seto is a professor of geography and urbanization science at the Yale School of the Environment. Seto’s central research focus is how urbanization will affect the planet. A geographer by training\, she integrates satellite remote sensing analysis\, field interviews and modeling methods to study urbanization and land change\, forecast urban growth\, and examine the environmental consequences of urban expansion. Seto’s research has generated new insights on the interaction between urbanization and food systems\, the effects of urban expansion on biodiversity and cropland loss\, urban energy use and emissions\, and urban mitigation of climate change. \nThis event is part of the Urban Planning at 50 celebration at UCLA Luskin.
