| dc.description.abstract | As one of the Sustainable City Year (SCY) projects this year, Green Cities students were asked to research, plan, and design environmentally friendly re-use and redevelopment options for the Salem Housing Authority (SHA). The Green Cities proposal approached development in Salem by organizing research into two teams, one focusing on the Glen Creek housing development site and one on the vacant Orchard Village housing site. Students working on the Glen Creek site examined agricultural land use options, energy savings, improved connectedness with surrounding areas, and options for increased density. Students working on the Orchard Village site proposal incorporated sustainable development elements into their proposal to optimize site, energy, water, and environmental use for future growth. Additionally, each site was analyzed for potential development in relation to transportation, sustenance, and waste needs. Research was conducted using site visits, in-class discussions, meetings with SHA representatives, and primary and secondary research. Green Cities students suggested proposals, strategies, and technologies to create sustainable communities on both SHA sites, and to provide a cuttingedge template for future Salem development plans. | en_US |
