This course will highlight a case study of a recently completed LEED-H Platinum development in Kansas City that was initiated through a public engagement process using the SEED principles, as well as the ripple effect emanating from the successful balance of social and sustainable aspects of the project. The case study will give a detailed account of the initial public engagement process, the ways this engagement adapted during the creation of a development team around the community’s vision, the training and employment opportunities created during the design and construction process, and how the communication with the neighborhood is continuing into the next phases of community revitalization. Showcasing the emerging tools, metrics, and strategies focused on Public Interest Design will enable architects, planners, developers, and builders to more successfully engage a community or neighborhood in developing and acting on a clear vision for the future.
