RAD Conversions

• RAD Conversion projects should refer to the Connected Communities Guidebook for general site planning principles as they develop their approach to landscape and open space design. Property Assessments, Design Workshop Summaries, and “What We’ve Heard” documents should be reviewed closely, as they contain site-specific priorities and recommendations from NYCHA, its architectural services consultants, and residents. NYCHA assumes that landscape and open space design will also respond to resiliency needs and will be coordinated with existing and planned Green Infrastructure features. 
• RAD Conversion projects will be asked to engage residents on landscape and open space design and to develop design over the course of pre-development through design charrettes and other visioning workshops. Sites & grounds scope cannot be determined after closing.
