REPOST: From Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas Join ULI NWA Next Week for Rebuilding Rogers, An Invitation to Shape the Future of Critical Corridors The recent tornado that swept through Rogers, Arkansas, left a significant mark on the city, particularly along HWY 71B and Walnut Street. In response, the City of Rogers, in partnership with Urban Land Institute Northwest Arkansas, DPZ CoDesign, Groundwork NWA, the Excellerate Foundation, and the Small Business Administration, is organizing an event designed to catalyze redevelopment and modernization efforts in these affected areas. We'll introduce a variety of resources to support redevelopment efforts, from financial tools to technical assistance. Our goal is to connect public officials, developers, capital market partners, designers, and property owners, fostering partnerships that can drive innovative projects and sustainable growth. Stakeholders from across the real estate industry in Northwest Arkansas are encouraged to attend, but the event is open to the public and free of charge. Join us in this critical conversation and be part of the movement to transform our community. Together, we can turn the challenges we face into opportunities for growth and improvement. Date: July 15, 3–6 PM Location: Rogers City Hall, 301 W Chestnut St, Rogers, AR 72756 Register now at the link below. https://lnkd.in/essXTCfw #rogers #planning #uli #urbanlandinstitute #event #dpzcodesign #dpz #groundworkNWA #excelleratefoundation #smallbusiness #smallbusinessadministration #arkansas #planning #corridors #design #morethanarchitecture

Green infrastructure is a powerful nature-based tool for enhancing resilience to climate hazards and delivering value. It minimizes flooding and polluted stormwater runoff by allowing plants, soils, and natural systems to absorb, collect, and treat rain where it falls. Whether integrated into single-family neighborhoods or developed in urban areas, it comes in a range of forms, providing key environmental, economic, and social benefits to communities. Explore how these three projects have incorporated green infrastructure among other resilient strategies to protect their neighborhoods from extreme weather, enhance biodiversity, and build value.

This weekend, June 7-9, Andres Duany and several other DPZers are participating in the Innovative Housing Showcase on the National Mall, managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R).   "The Showcase is a public event to raise awareness of innovative and affordable housing designs and technologies that have the potential to increase housing supply, lower the cost of construction, increase energy efficiency and resilience, and reduce housing expenses for owners and renters. This is the fourth year of the Innovative Housing Showcase."   DPZ has partnered with New Amherst Homes, 21st Century Home, and the No-Nonsense Housing Company to design and build model units for "The Bento" and "The C.I.E.R.S. House".   The Bento is THE Tiny House designed for urban living. It meets the requirements of the Residential Building Code, and is certified by the U.S. Department of Motor Vehicles, valid in all states. It may be towed without a specialized license, and parked in any parking lot. ­ Meanwhile, the CIERS House is a versatile and functional Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) that maximizes space without compromising comfort or style. Offering a charming two-story living space, it employs structural log framing for easy transportation to site locations and assembly within confined yards.   Come see these uniquely-conceived dwellings at the Mall this weekend!
