A Planning Framework for the Green New Deal - Duane Errol Fleming

. .

Résumé :
A PLANNING FRAMEWORK FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL There are five critical problems that we must deal with as soon as possible: 1. We must rapidly produce renewable and safe nuclear reactor energy to reduce and eliminate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; 2. We need to create 47 million sustainable jobs to replace those that will be eliminated by automation; 3. We need to build massive amounts of affordable workforce housing; 4. We need to eliminate gas-driven cars and replace them with renewable energy cars and mass transit; 5. We must replace shareholder capitalism with worker-owned cooperatives which pay a livelihood wage, and supply a comfortable retirement and health care, in exchange for a lifetime of work. All of these projects can be accomplished by using a New Town planning framework. We need to build New Towns for the 21st Century across the United States. By using this planning framework, we can use all of the advanced knowledge of city planners, architects, engineers and farmers. We will be able to use our best practices and new technologies, including recycling and regenerative agriculture and forestry to create carbon dioxide sinks. The billionaires of the world have a rich opportunity to advance the forward days of humankind with an urgent and uniting work effort.

Fleming worked as a Senior City Planner for the cities of Dayton, Ohio and West Palm Beach. He has co-drafted a bill with Representative Robert Wexler, to enable young people to be able to buy a home early in life with a large down payment. The bill, Restore the American Dream Act, HR 3557 is being sponsored by Representative Ted Deutch, who will try to advance the bill as soon as it is practical. This bill features the Home Ownership Plan which will create millions of sustainable jobs and will add billions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury. The Home Ownership Plan was one of 21 finalists out of 22,000 submissions to the national contest, Since Sliced Bread. However, because of crushing student debt, many young people cannot take on the debt of a mortgage at this time.
He has had two articles on the Home Ownership Plan published in the Journal of Housing, and articles in The Christian Science Monitor, The Palm Beach Post, and The Dayton Daily News. Fleming has written one non-fiction book, Building a New America with Christ's Values, published by Westbow Press, in 2014.
Fleming founded and directs the Livelihood Systems Institute (LSI), with the mission to advance job creation and the development of affordable workforce housing and housing for the homeless. For three years, LSI worked with all of the major cities of Ohio to advance funding for affordable housing. Additional funding was provided by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation, and the Standard Oil Company.
