UPC Fall 2014 Symposium - Millennials and Boomers: Planning for Changing Demographics in the Bay Area Saturday Oct. 18, 2014 9am - 3pm at Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, 2nd Floor, Rm 225, 150 E San Fernando St, SAN JOSE CM | 3.5 Overview of Theme: This year, the Urban Planning Coalition (UPC) at San José State is hosting a symposium that will look at how Millennials and Baby Boomers, as two key demographic groups, are affecting growth and change in the Bay Area. Recently released research from the Pew Research Center, AARP, and the American Planning Association reveals that the recent recession and changing political landscape have shaped these generations with distinct living preferences and perceptions of place. Event Details: Catered breakfast and lunch provided. Keynote speaker John Rahaim, SF Planning Director, will describe the particular challenges and opportunities with Baby Boomers retiring and Millennials expressing new lifestyle preferences. Three panels will explore the emerging sharing economy, the demand for multimodal transportation, and the need for affordable and diversity housing. Organized by the San Jose State University Urban Planning Coalition and co-sponsored by APA Northern California, Association of Environmental Professionals, and the Urban Land InstituteFor example, Millennials are more likely to carry student debt, to be linked with social media, and to live with their parents, giving rise to the term “boomerang kids.” Baby Boomers, on the other hand, have their own living preferences; in general, boomers want to abscond the current model of cookie cutter retirement communities to either age-in-place or relocate to an urban center.Given these trends, the bigger question for urban planners, land use professionals, and community advocates remains—how should we design places with these two demographics’ values in mind? This event is a annual UPC fall event where students and Planners come together to discuss and learn more about current issues in the urban planning field. Registration is free but required for this event. This is a great event for networking and for learning more about the urban planning field!
