Nearly 100 days after a tornado destroyed much of Birmingham’s Pratt Community, an effort to create a new master plan is underway. The AIA Regional and Urban Design Assistance Team (RUDAT) visited Birmingham, toured the Pratt City community and met with neighborhood leaders and ministers. RUDAT will return in the fall for a four-day workshop to engage residents in shaping a master plan that reflects their vision and priorities for the community. During the first public meeting, Bert Gregory, who is leading the RUDAT design team, noted:
“This is really all about your community, and we need you folks to really define your community. You should think of us as the pencil for your vision.”
