- W72292279 abstract "The West Town redevelopment in Atlanta is one of 238 projects selected for the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) pilot program. This article describes the LEED-ND program and uses the West Town project to illustrate LEED-ND implementation. LEED-ND is the first certification program to concentrate on neighborhood design components such as smart growth, new urbanism, and green or sustainable building. LEED-ND site-design criteria address development density, construction and development impact zones, stormwater management, utilization of existing natural features and topography, reduction of heat islands and pedestrian orientation. LEED-ND encourages the concept of healthy living by concentrating on compact, walkable neighborhoods with green space. The LEED-ND pilot program provided an extensive menu of options to incorporate sustainable features into site development and building construction. West Town, a 42-acre redevelopment of a predominantly industrial area, was a good fit for the LEED-ND pilot program. West Town consists of more than 9.6 acres of open green space, up to 1,450 housing units, mixed-use residential space, and approximately 150,000 square feet of commercial space. Stormwater management and open/green space were two major components of the West Town program. Several innovative measures helped the team achieve its stormwater management goals, including drainage cells beneath single-family driveways for rainwater harvesting, bioretention and rain gardens in open areas, infiltration trenches in the alley ways between housing blocks, and a comprehensive restoration program for the stream through the center of the site. A delicate balance had to be reached between meeting jurisdictional requirements for open space/green space, providing ample open space for the neighborhood development, and maintaining the feel of living in an urban community. The integration of pedestrian pathways and corridors, pocket parks, and natural areas along the streams helped create the experience of outdoor living within the city. West Town is an excellent example of how the LEED-ND goal of creating healthy and livable neighborhoods can be successfully achieved in an urban setting." @default.
