In association with University of Arkansas Department of Ecological Engineering and McClelland Consulting Engineers
The 43-unit residential project is a demonstration Low Impact Development (LID) sponsored by the USEPA for Habitat for Humanity. LID is an ecological stormwater management approach that sustains a site’s predevelopment hydrologic regime. Planning begins with a Green Neighborhood Transect, leveraging urban and ecological services in the porch, yard, street, and open space. Neighborhoods are developed as sub-watersheds. This development model embeds ecological metrics into planning, land-use policy, and infrastructural design, and solves for the triple bottom line.
