A recap of my recent experience at the Sustainable Cities Design Academy in Washington, hosted by the American Architectural Foundation–A great few days spent working as a resource team member for Fulton County Georgia and their Industrial district plan. Working with great colleagues, and a great staff at the AAF, I enjoyed connecting expertise from New Haven to Fulton County Georgia! Connecting expertise and recognizing similarities between industrial districts is one step closer to creating a community of needs in a network of cities–connective development strategies.
