Community Design Charrettes

The Vermont Design Institute organizes one community design charrette per year. VDI matches professional design expertise with local knowledge to address design issues concerning strength of historic villages, solutions to gateway and circulation issues, build-out scenarios for critical parcels of land, viability of local food systems, and linkages between the natural and built environments. Aimed at enhancing sustainability, the charrettes focus on empowering local participation in community change, enhancement, and transformation.
