Performing songwriter Melanie Hammet first composed music about land-use over a decade ago. In 1997, Hammet and playwright Marjorie Bradley Kellogg were commissioned by The Alliance Theatre to create a musical about an unusual subject: an inner-city community garden. The result was Livin In The Garden, directed by Tony-nominated Kenny Leon. Several years later, Hammet returned to the subject---this time as an elected official. During her first four-year term as city councilperson in Pine Lake Georgia (she was elected to a second term in Nov. 09), Melanie was instrumental in securing a grant to hire a city planner; she then served on the steering committee for the re-write and adoption of new commercial and residential zoning. Hammet also worked to establish a year-long monthly series on aspects of community land-use and wrote legislation that created a review board to help enforce best practices. In January 2009, Melanie Hammet was accepted to The Seaside Institutes Escape To Create residency, having submitted a proposal to write songs that distilled urban planning concepts to human-sized basics: the impact of good street design; the importance of public space; the Ponzi-scheme structure of non-renewable planning. The seven songs written during E2C are now the CD Edifice Complex, scheduled for official release on April 1, 2010.. + Informações

Singer/song writer Melanie Hammet, who is also an elected official in Pine Lake, GA, has found ways to turn conversations about land use planning to music. At the May, 2010 conference of the Congress for the New Urbanism, she talked about her twin passions. See her perform here: www.youtube.com. + Informações
