What do birds of a feather do?
They flock together! Do
you have a burning issue you'd like to discuss with your peers? Are you
interested in learning about how they are solving the types of challenges you
are facing on technical,
policy or analytical issues? Then you should propose or participate
in a "birds of a feather" session at the upcoming UMI Forum.
When you propose a topic, we'll allocate a table at lunch on Friday to you and
your suggested topic. Then, others who are interested in having a discussion
about the topic can join you. At the conference, use this session to
help get input from other experts on your problem, or use it to create a
"special interest group" you believe should exist to advance thinking
or action on urban information issues. Propose your Birds of a
Feather session
today by emailing Brian Nagendra ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
with your name as organizer and suggested topic. We'll take care of the
rest! REGISTER TODAY! http://www.brookings.edu/metro/umi/2006conference.htm Four

– Track D Using
Indicators to Organize Neighborhood Change: In this session, participants
will learn about data that is potentially available at their local level and
how to leverage that information to provide a comprehensive picture of a
neighborhood at a custom geographic level. The trainers will provide their
insights from over a decade of experience on how local governments,
departments, and agencies can work with local non-profits to use a neighborhood
quality of life study as an organizing and analysis tool to improve the conditions
of a neighborhood. For
