>From Sustainability: Low Impact Development Techniques that yield High Impact
Results
John A. Clark, Director,
Greening America
Developers and builders use Low Impact
Development (LID) techniques of smart growth and ecological design to minimize
harmful impacts on our waterways, and to conserve electricity and water
throughout a development. This engaging breakfast seminar outlines how applied
LID techniques protect fragile greenbelt resources around Toronto, while
ensuring that development is economically viable and profitable.
Noted U.S. developer, John A Clark, will explain why he chose LID management
practices for the development of Haymount, a 1700 acre, 4,000-unit town in
rural Virginia. When complete, Haymount will recycle its own water, have
distinct and walkable neighbourhoods, an organic farm, and a greenbelt among
other features of sustainable design. John
van Nostrand, noted Canadian architect and planner will discuss how
these concepts can be applied to Seaton, a planned community northeast of
Toronto.
