Community-Scale Wildfire Mitigation in California’s Wildland-Urban Interface
This project will identify, examine, and expand upon applied techniques for mitigating risks associated with wildfire for communities in wildfire-prone regions, and synthesize them into a compendium of best practices for landscape architects, urban planners, and urban designers. The principal outcome of this research will be a topical primer for landscape architects working in wildfire-prone regions. As a technical guide, this document will focus on implementable design strategies for mitigating risk and managing landscapes with active fire regimes at the community scale. As a communications tool, it will extract the spatial principles of wildfire resilience through an easy-to-navigate series of illustrated recommendations.
