ACTIVE SPACES
Architecture for Humanity is seeking to partner with cities to transform under-utilized spaces into active places.
We are focusing on five areas that support physical activity;
1. Open Spaces / Parks
2. Urban Design / Land Use
3. Transportation
4. Schools
5. Buildings / Workplaces
Under the Designed To Move collective we hope to bring momentum to a nationwide movement to create healthier, active spaces in our cities and towns. As the lead organization in the built environment, Architecture for Humanity is seeking to identify three to five cities to pilot programs to build innovative spaces that tackle obesity and empower healthier citizens.

Transforming empty lots and abandoned infill development into active and healthy environments for families
Capturing the border zones. Re-imagine highway underpass as connections and meeting points with the peri-urban community. This empowers the DVP to opens its arms to the surrounding community.
Social issues are overlapped and complex. By integrating social services within the urban fabric we can tackle inner-city needs within the community instead of shunning them to the outskirts.

To empower alternative teaching methods we need to embed education in entrepreneurial environments. Use downtown as an incubator and interweave the classrooms within start-ups and businesses
Historic way-finding and signage. Rather than treating Las Vegas as a place of destination we can use alternative way-finding to transform it into a place of discovery.

RETHINKING THE URBAN LANDSCAPE- Case Studies
Local Case Studies - Active SpacesFor the past seven years we have built over two dozen sports and physical educational spaces within the urban fabric. This has included taking over empty spaces under bridges to working with city officials to close streets to cars and turn them into permanent places of play. This has ranged from $400K revitalization projects to $2000 interventions

CREATING PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Partnership Opportunities
Three to five pilot projects on underutilized lots that would create active, healthy spaces
Host an international design competition that would bring attention to the need to revitalize urban cores, while generating innovative design ideas
Implement and construct pilot projects in partnership with local planners and architects.
Perform monitoring and evaluation on the social return on investment (SROI) on pilot program to support replication and scale
Benefits of Active Spaces
Increased activity and healthier lifestyle leads to healthcare savings
Increased foot traffic and retail opportunities
Reduction in crime
Increased real estate values
Opportunities for serendipity
