The Practice of Low Impact Development
(July, 2003, 131 p.)
This PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing)
document focuses on technologies that affect cost impacts
and environmental issues associated with the land development
process. It provides a brief introduction to low impact development
and discusses conventional and alternative techniques and
technologies that developers can integrate into their existing
land development practices in order to provide built environments
that enhance the natural environment. The project complements
and builds on the information presented in a 1993 HUD report,
Proposed Model Land Development Standards and Accompanying
Model State Enabling Legislation, which focused on unnecessary
land development practices that add to a home’s final
cost.
