PURPOSE
Accept the 2024 ASLA Minnesota Planning and Design Award for the Hopkins Heat
Vulnerability Study.
INFORMATION
Each year, the Minnesota chapter of the American Society for Landscape Architects
recognizes excellence in design through an awards ceremony in the spring. Award
winners represent the best of landscape architecture in the General Design, Residential
Design, Planning & Urban Design, Small Budget Big Impact, Communications, Research,
& Unbuilt Works categories.
Nominated by our project partners LHB, this year the Hopkins Heat Vulnerability Study
was awarded a merit award in Planning and Urban Design. The project is described by
ASLA as a project [which] exemplifies a community-driven planning approach that results
in positive outcomes for the people we serve, exemplifying how landscape architects can
directly aid vulnerable communities in the face of a changing climate.
Tonight, Staff will present the award to the Council. A full list of award recipients can be
viewed on the ASLA Minnesota website.
