In February of 2008, the Urban Charrette received an SDAT grant from the AIA to benefit the city of Tampa. The primary objective of this project is to develop an updated planning framework for neighborhoods and urban villages in Tampa with a focus on achieving sustainability through the good design, education, and community participation.
