LID Basics and Beyond: Low Impact Development Trends in the SouthwestASU GlOSGlendale, AZ Free event Why Attend? Within the next 5 years, most cities in the Valley (Arizona) will be required to submit low impact development (LID) plans as part of their stormwater permitting process. This one day workshop provides planners and other involved professionals the opportunity to learn and understand LID practices and techniques that are specifically pertinent and applicable to southwestern communities. It will also be a great opportunity to network and learn from other professionals working in the region.
Topics covered will include LID design, strategy and practices which can help cities better handle stormwater run-off, avert pollution, and meet stormwater permit requirements. LID positively contributes to urban design and a higher quality of life. Respected, local professionals will teach others about LID, use of permeable pavers, green infrastructure use in right-of-way (ROW) and the incorporation of trees/shade (urban forestry) to benefit community infrastructure.
Registration - this event is free. To register, please email scnevents@asu.edu and include your name, title, organization, phone number, and email address. Seating is limited and attendance will be on a first come, first served basis.
