WE ARE DESIGNED TO MOVE                #SXSW4Sandy
Architecture for Humanity is seeking to partner with cities to
transform under-utilized spaces into active places within the
US.

We are focusing on five areas that support physical activity;

1. Open Spaces / Parks

2. Urban Design / Land Use




                                                                                architecture for humanity
3. Transportation

4. Schools

5. Buildings / Workplaces

Working with over 70 partners under the Designed To Move
collective we hope to bring momentum to a nationwide
movement to create healthier, active spaces in our cities and
towns. As the lead organization in the built environment,
Architecture for Humanity is seeking to identify three to five
cities to pilot programs to build innovative spaces that tackle
obesity and empower healthier citizens.

Local Case Studies - Active Spaces
For the past seven years we have built over two dozen sports and physical
educational spaces within the urban fabric. This has included taking over empty
spaces under bridges to working with city officials to close streets to cars and
turn them into permanent places of play. This has ranged from $400K
revitalization projects to $2000 interventions
