SDAT Workshop- Professional Participation Requested

Be a part of the exciting Sustainable Design Assessment Team. We need local professionals to help explore a new model for sustainable neighborhood renewal. From affordable housing and quality jobs to green infrastructure and brownfields, chances are there is a topic you have critical expertise in. This is a great opportunity to give back to our community and help shape public policy in a manner that benefits a neighborhood we've long neglected.

The workshop is a three-day affair, concentrating on gathering community input on Wednesday, interpretting that input into several alternative visions and policies for the future on Thursday, and wrapping everything into a cohesive story for a public presentation on Friday. All work will be evaluated against a series of Policies and Goals previously identified through the Smart Growth Renewal process.

  • All food (and good food at that!) and snacks will be provided.
  • We will have standard charrette supplies, but you are welcome to bring your own materials.
  • You will receive recognition in the report.
  • This program can be counted towards your CEU requirement.
The charrette track will work in three multidisciplinary teams to explore alternative renewal scenarios and be led by a local professional. Full-workshop (October 28, 29, 30) participation is critical to maintain concept continuity and we ask that you register for as many days as possible. If you only can dedicate one day, Thursday is probably the most critical. Download a complete schedule.
