Open Space Seattle 2100 is a coalition of urban leadership that has formed to engage citizens in collaborative visioning for Seattle's future open space network. The University of Washington's Department of Landscape Architecture has convened leaders and citizens from civic, environmental, professional, neighborhood and community groups to create plans for connected open space that will serve residents, businesses, and our natural systems for the coming century. The vision will reach from the city limits to the downtown core, creating a comprehensive network of parks, civic spaces, streets, trails, shorelines, and urban forests that will bind neighborhoods to one another, create ecological conduits from the city's ridgelines to its shorelines, and ensure a wealth of green spaces for all citizens to enjoy. The centerpiece of the project will be a 2-day planning charrette on February 3 and 4, 2006. Students in Larch 504 and 402 will join with teams of planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, real-estate developers, artists, and open space advocates to discover and develop ideas for connected green streets, parks, trails, urban social spaces, waterfronts, recreational facilities and habitat, focusing on distinct study areas of the city. |
