There was a meeting of the minds to brainstorm design plans for the “Green Heart” and “Green Spine” areas of the Southwestern Medical District Urban Streetscape Master Plan project at the Architecture and Design Exchange with the collaboration of DFW American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), Dallas American Institute of Architects (AIA), American Planning Association, and Ideation Planning.
Thanks to all the original ideas and contributions, Texas Trees Foundation is confident that the design plan is solution-orientated to transform the District’s pedestrian access and safety, aging infrastructure, urban heat island effect, and address aspects of nature deficit disorder -- all under the power and shade of urban tree canopies. These SWMD design plans help contribute to the focus on healthy people, systems, and the environment within the District.
