Livability 101
for Communities
Livability 101 offers communities the
resources to develop a vision for the future and enables them to be
engaged in a successful process with the expertise offered by the
architectural profession. As designers of the built environment,
architects play an important role in shaping our communities. Their
design affects our safety, health, and the environment as well as
the quality of life in our neighborhoods, towns, cities, and
regions. This publication seeks to strengthen the relationship of
citizens and architects by sharing a common vocabulary to create a
sustainable framework for building more livable communities.
Livability 101
for Architects
Livability 101 engages architects as
members of their communities, to use and share their knowledge,
skill, and experience to participate in civic life. Architecture
expresses the values of society and has the power to enrich the
human spirit and ensure livability for this and future generations.
Livability 101 provides architects with the necessary vocabulary
and elements needed to empower communities and make decisions that
will shape more livable communities.
