"We now live in a region that, in many ways, was shaped by the decisions of Tampa Bay's residents of the 1950s and 60s. So now, it is up to us, Tampa Bay's 2008 residents, to make the choices that will affect how people live, work, and play into the 2050s and 2060s."

Together we can create a "Cents of Place" for Tampa Bay. Please join us for an exciting and timely forum with two national experts who will discuss how improving our transportation sytem and good community design can enhance economic development in the region. Updates on critical planning efforts by Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority (TBARTA) and One Bay will also be featured.

Robert Puentes is a fellow with the Brooking Institution Metropolitan Policy Program. The Metro Program is redefining the challenges facing cities and suburbs in America and promoting innovative solutions to help communities grow in more inclusive, competitive and sustainable ways.
Mr. Puentes' work focuses on the broad array of policies and issues related to metropolitan growth and development. Mr. Puentes is currently managing several multi-disciplinary research projects including the Metro Program's transportation and infrastructure reform series, a profile and policy options for older suburban America, reframing the challenges and opportunities for affordable housing, a series on the impact of various land use strategies on metropolitan growth, as well as continuing work documenting the consequences of metropolitan sprawl and disinvestment.

"The key to harnessing sustainable growth is integrating urban design back into master plans, local land development codes and restrictive covenants, as well as linking land use with a systematic regional mix of roads and rail transit. In this context, Scott and his colleagues marry place making with performance-based mechanisms to unleash the genius of the market. These approaches have earned Scott and his colleagues the Texas American Planning Association awards for Best Current Planning and Best Project Plan."
