FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Newly published books, “Conway Urban Watershed Framework Plan” and “Houses for Aging Socially: Developing Third Place Ecologies,” focus on plans developed by the University of Arkansas Community Design Center, an outreach program of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design.
The Community Design Center partnered with the University of Arkansas Office of Sustainability to create a plan addressing the water quality issues of an urban watershed and the unique housing needs of an aging population.
The plan provides city planners and community designers with tools to retrofit a city with green infrastructure and open spaces.
