Creating Resilient Communities: Unconventional Approaches to Engagement, Funding, and Project Delivery - 1.0 PDH (LA CES/HSW)

Description

Traditional project delivery methods often overlook under resourced communities. Using unconventional project funding sources and partnerships, three landscape architects share how they approach resilient site planning and design in their local communities in the Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, and Midwest.
