A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Since the 1970s, UWM’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP) has played a key role in helping Milwaukee envision successful long-term initiatives, including the Lakefront, Park East, and the Menomonee Valley. The frameworks for such community-changing initiatives have matured through open dialogue among Milwaukee’s elected officials, professional experts, and students and faculty. Actions based on these visionary frameworks have taken root in new public and private investments. Over the last three years, the Institute for Ecological Design (I4ED) has coordinated a major project aimed at advancing knowledge across the spectrum of ecological architecture, landscape architecture and urban design, all focused on identifying catalytic potentials for the redevelopment of Milwaukee’s Inner Harbor. The SARUP-wide collaborative effort serves as a forum for students, faculty, business owners, elected officials, and the general public to envision the future of Milwaukee’s industrial waterfront together. The effort provides an example of SARUP’s innovation in community-based education and sustainable redevelopment that combines UWM’s urban mission with Milwaukee’s public and private leadership.
