PLAN-160: Light Imprint Urbanism -- Integrating Sustainability and Community Design

This webinar is currently only available as a video recording.

Light Imprint is a planning and development strategy that emphasizes sustainability, pedestrian-oriented design, and infrastructure efficiency in the creation of compact, mixed-use communities. At the same time, the approach reduces the infrastructure costs of a community.

Light Imprint introduces transect-based environmental methods as part of a stormwater management system. It has a tool box of techniques to handle stormwater, an environmental challenge that plays a major role in shaping cities and towns. Tools in the Light Imprint Tool Box can be calibrated based on transect, climate, soil conditions, slope, cost, and maintenance.

The Light Imprint Webinar will introduce participants to the concept of Light Imprint and explore how Light Imprint can be implemented in their city or town. Participants will also gain familiarity with the Light Imprint Website and Handbook.
