AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION HONORS AIA'S SUSTAINABLE DESIGN ASSESSMENT TEAM PROGRAM

摘要

The American Planning Association (APA) is recognizing the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) program with its 2019 Excellence in Sustainability Awards. The award, given by the APA's Sustainable Communities Division, honors projects, plans, policies, individuals, and organizations whose work is dedicated to supporting and growing sustainable communities. AIA's SDAT program works with localities around the country to create community-driven action plans that help them achieve sustainable design plans for the future. Through the program, over 450 professionals from more than 30 disciplines have provided millions of dollars in pro bono services to over 80 communities across 35 states since 2005. The program has engaged approximately 20,000 participants in citizen-driven sustainability plans. SDAT projects have catalyzed billions of dollars in sustainable development while inspiring community pride and innovative partnerships.
