What you'll learn:

Redevelopment of the older portions of our metro area – whether in the urban core, first ring suburbs, or on the Main Streets of smaller outlying communities – is a key objective to help the Kansas City region become a more sustainable community.  Strong agreement exists among community leaders on the need to incorporate environmentally sensitive design practices into the region’s redevelopment plans and projects. But, uncertainty persists about just how to do it.

In this workshop, Steve McDowell, a founding principal of BNIM Architects, will help illustrate what green development what might look like. He will then explore how more integrative planning and design tools and processes may help achieve emerging community goals to Become America’s Green Region. He will draw from a wealth of experience in which he has provided leadership in the design of some of the nation’s greenest buildings and communities.
