Join us for the “Re-Visioning Landscapes with LID: The Houston Experience” webcast. During the past winter, the Houston Land/Water Sustainability Forum sponsored a national Low Impact Development (LID)
Design Competition. The competition was created to educate design
professionals, decision makers and the public on the economic,
environmental and quality-of-life positive impacts of LID. The design
teams, most of whom had no previous experience with LID, created designs
for three real developments being planned around greater Houston—a
green roadway, urban redevelopment, and a suburban residential design.
This webcast will feature participants from all portions of the
competition—competition organizers, competition winners, and design
judges. This webcast will also feature a discussion of the competition’s
ripple effect on Houston’s design/build community as well as the
building ordinances in Houston. The competition is spawning interest
beyond Houston on the benefits of LID. See for yourself what’s behind
the buzz.

Webcast participants are eligible to receive a certificate for their attendance. Participants are encouraged to download presentations prior to the Webcast at Watershed Academy Webcast Seminars.
