1 point; applies to all eight BD+C adaptations. Before design, complete a survey of the site covering topography, hydrology (flood hazard areas, water bodies, rainwater reuse, impervious surfaces), climate (sun, heat island, winds, precipitation and temperature), vegetation (types, greenfield area, significant trees, threatened species, invasives, ecoregion), soils (farmland, healthy and disturbed soils, previous development), human use (views, transport and bicycle links, diverse uses, reusable materials) and human health effects (vulnerable populations, physical activity, pollution sources), showing how each shaped the design or why it was not addressed.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
