Simple by Design: Landscapes for Deep Social Impact
Keith Green & Julianne Schrader Ortega present this NDAL session. Learn about how simple and scalable green interventions such as trees, community gardens and remediated vacant lots can provide deep impact for communities. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s (PHS) mission is to advance health and well-being through horticulture, and their “simple by design” landscape tactics have helped to improve quality of life in urban communities throughout the Philadelphia region. Explore research done by University of Pennsylvania researchers and others that shows the impact of PHS’s greening programs on factors such as health, safety, and violence and gain a deeper understanding of how the built environment can impact society.
