Dodson Associates developed a design manual for the State of Rhode Island demonstrating a range of environmentally sensitive site planning, urban design, stormwater management techniques for use in urban areas throughout the state. Four case study sites were selected reflecting a diverse range of urban communities typically found in the state. Detailed plans were developed ith extensive input from local residents, city officials and state regulators. The latest techniques in stormwater management, urban design, waterfront management, open space preservation, urban parkland development, infill housing and reuse of old industrial structures were highlighted in the plans. Horsley & Witten helped develop best managment practices. You can read the manual on the DEM Web Site.

Images were created for each case study. These images illustrate existing and proposed development for the Tidewater site, along with stormwater recommendations. Click Image for full view
