What would a truly green community, designed from the ground up, look like? It is something that many urbanists and architects have dreamed about and a few have tried. Now Matt Grocoff and the THRIVE Collaborative are having a shot at it with the Veridian at County Farm in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The Living Community Challenge
A new model is emerging for restorative neighborhoods, campuses, and districts. There are currently over twenty Living Community Challenge projects that have engaged with the program during the Pilot stage (Exploratory), and/or have become Registered since full certification became available. Veridian at County Farm in Ann Arbor, Michigan is located next to an expansive county park with trails that wind through re-naturalized agricultural fields, woodlands, and gardens.
