Tampa's Sustainable Future

The Urban Charrette facilitates connections between the community and the built environment by cultivating awareness of respectful urban design through dialogue, collaboration, and education.

What is SDAT?

SDAT is a community assistance program from AIA National that brings a team of volunteer professionals to work with local decision-makers and stakeholders.

The Tampa SDAT, entitled Connecting Tampa, focuses on improving the neighborhood planning process. On November 12-14, 2008, the SDAT Team visited Tampa and conducted a series of meetings with local officials, neighborhood representatives, and other stakeholders in order to collect input for a final report that will include recommendations on how to update and improve the City’s neighborhood planning guidelines

High Speed Rail

Tampa, Orlando, Miami

Rush hour on I-4 has never been pleasant. Most would avoid it if at all possible.

One less lane is a huge disadvantage to traffic and a driver's mental state. For years there has bee… Continue

Best Coffee Shop Eats
Cafe Hey
Free wireless, steamy joe and a smattering of pastries are a pretty common sight — even if you don’t count Starbucks. What’s rare is the dedication to homemade soups, salads and sandwiches found at Cafe Hey. Even better, the coffee shop focuses on sustainable and organic ingredients.
