Planning for Low Impact Development and Green Infrastructure (UEP-0206)

Spring 2024 · UEP 0206 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

The course is designed to present a comprehensive approach to site planning and development that incorporates low-impact development approaches and techniques. Also known as green infrastructure, low-impact development is a conservation-based site planning and design process that sets aside critical open space buffers, reduces impervious surfaces and concentrates development into appropriate “building envelopes”. It also includes a broad range of best management practices including green roofs, bioretention, rain gardens, vegetated swales, constructed wetlands, infiltration systems and alternative wastewater management systems.
