Pittsburgh has a history of innovative leadership in green building and is now helping to define the national conversation on sustainability planning. An ecodistrict describes a neighborhood or community whose plan considers both the physical assets of a community as well as the community’s resource flows, such as food, energy, and water. This session will present the emerging trends that are defining ecodistricts and urban planning and how the concept is being implemented nationally and regionally.
CourseDescription
LearningObjectives
1. Distinguish between various frameworks for addressing community sustainability and apply them in part or whole
2. Identify the various physical systems and resource flows, the “hardware” that can be measured in ecodistrict planning
3. Identify the importance of the “software” of community capacity and how the design process can activate as well as engage a community
4. Identify different types of ecodistrict metrics, processes, and outcomes through regional and national examples.
At the end of the this course, participants will be able to:

Ecodistrict planning quantifies system performance, assigns value to ecological processes and promotes social equity in scalar economies.

WHAT IS AN ECOINNOVATIONDISTRICT plan?A community plan focused on equitable growth, economic development, and sustainability.
Centered around Uptown/West Oakland, this EcoInnovation District plan will be created WITH and FOR THE COMMUNITY. This includes ensuring that improvements in Uptown/West Oakland reinforce the work already underway in neighboring communities.
FIRST THINGS FIRST…
The UPTOWN / WEST OAKLAND area today is:
> 204 acres> about 1,000 residents
(not including students)
> 81 businesses
• This map summarizes proposals from other plans that address uptown.• while uptown is included in these plans, it is not the focus.• this is an opportunity to specifically address the challenges
facing uptown and its residents and businesses.
For years, property was acquired, buildings were demolished and lots used for this.
“all of this demolition is destroying the community”
In response, the city created the interim planning overlay district (ipod) which prohibits the demolition of buildings AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SURFACE PARKING LOTS in the community.
not just open space but landscapes that help to solve regular issues like flooding. Since there are steep hillsides, we should design to better manage stormwater.
