Title: Mapping for a Healthy & Happy Rochester with RRCDC
Location: Rochester Contemporary Art Center
Date: May 17
Start Time: 1pm
End Time: 3pm
Description: Join us in creating a video map built from recent and historic maps of Rochester’s downtown. In our efforts to envision a Healthy & Happy Rochester the RRCDC has been inviting nationally and internationally renowned experts and authors to speak to our community through the Reshaping Rochester lecture series. The message has been consistent: Rochester has everything we need to develop and sustain a healthy and vibrant future if we organize our efforts and take decisive actions. Come view some focus areas, current and historic vision plans and then participate in building our next effort: video documentation of our city.

For the past five years the Rochester Regional Community Design Center (RRCDC) has been facilitating and participating in local and regional community design and education. Among our activities we develop vision plan documents to recommend and coordinate ways forward that begin with engaged citizens, neighborhood groups and other stakeholders. Our first project is the now celebrated ArtWalk. Building on this success, one of our most ambitious efforts thus far has been developing a comprehensive vision plan for the future of Downtown Rochester (largely the area inside and around the inner loop). To do this we rely on a number of participants who volunteer their time, services, expertise and experience for the shared purpose of developing a Healthy & Happy Rochester.

Healthy & Happy Cities, our current signboard exhibit picturing communities in North America that have adopted or developed LEED certified communities, is a phrase adapted from Sustainable Urbanism, a way to envision and experience comprehensive community design.
