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
