INTRODUCTION

Over the past twenty years, the American Institute of Architects, through its Urban Planning and Design Committee, has offered to communities the services of a Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT).

R/UDAT team members who perform their services voluntarily have been appointed by the AIA's Urban Design and Planning Committees's R/UDAT Steering Group. As with the other 100 teams who have serve communities over the past 20 years, each team member agrees not to receive any commission for work based upon the team's recommendations.
