| Our fundamental aim in designing and building Meriam Park is to create a great place over the long haul, a place that achieves both long-term economic vitality and environmental sustainability, a place that holds our attention, captivates our imagination, and over time earns our affection. As urban designers and builders, what we do leaves a long-term imprint, and we make every effort to do our work thoughtfully. This section briefly describes the steps we have taken in planning Meriam Park. |

- Charrettes & Public Engagement. All planning work benefits from the interaction of local citizens and nearby neighbors. Over a 3-year period, in meetings and workshops large and small, we have worked with interested members of the community to make our work better.
- LEED-ND. We are seeking certification of Meriam Park in accordance with an emerging standard for green development practices. Learn about the new standard for sustainable neighborhood development, known as "LEED-ND", developed by the US Green Building Council.
