Indianapolis Smart Growth Renewal District Partnership 

The Smart Growth Renewal District is a planning initiative to explore how communities in Indianapolis can be revitalized in an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable manner using the area around 22nd Street and the Monon Trail as a model.

The Partnership was formed to facilitate a sustainability process awarded to Indianapolis through the American Institute of Architects' Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) program. The Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) initiative is a national, competitive program of the American Institute of Architects. The program is a community assistance program that focuses on the principles of sustainability. SDATs bring teams of volunteer professionals (such as architects, urban designers, planners, landscape architects, hydrologists, economists, attorneys, and others) to assist community decision-makers and stakeholders to help them develop a vision and framework for a sustainable future. The City of Indianapolis' Office of Sustainability is proud to serve on the SDAT Team as co-chairs and project coordinators.
