Designing Multi-Benefit Transmission Corridors

On August 15th, a participatory workshop at the University of Pennsylvania will bring together a multidisciplinary group of interested participants to explore this potential of novel multi-functional arrangements and designs for the typology of multi-benefit transmission corridors. The workshop will identify novel opportunities and potential benefits associated with layered, integrated multi-benefit transmission corridors; make the benefits of layered infrastructure legible to users and communities through novel experiences and a curation of spatial design sequences; and explore landscape principles for the design of innovative high-performing and multi-functional multi-benefit transmission corridors.

This workshop is being funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Deployment Office through the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, in support of the Connecting Transmission Corridors (ConCord) Initiative, which is aimed at increasing awareness of the public, community, and environmental benefits associated with transmission infrastructure.
