Jana Lynott produced this video with StreetFilms, and I make a few appearances throughout. Our goal was to discuss the importance of locations near transit for older adults. Simply put, people of all ages, incomes and physical abilities can benefit from locations that combine transportation and housing choices, as this video demonstrates. This combination does not happen by accident - this version of "equitable TOD" usually requires planning, zoning and policy actions to ensure that everyone can benefit.

This is the beginning of a series of videos from my talk to talk to the American Planning Association's Planning and the Black Community Division at the 2012 American Planning Association National Conference in April.  I was installed as the Division's Vice Chair - Policy shortly after this talk, so I guess it didn't go too badly.   Parts 2-5 are on Youtube as well.  The direct link to this video is: http://youtu.be/wJdvihNsj-k
