CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES
Syd Kitson, former NFL player and leader of Florida real estate development firm Kitson & Partners, stressed that land-use patterns that support walkability are also an important part of community sustainability.
He noted that Babcock residents can
easily walk or bike to parks and shopping and dining destinations.
More than 50 percent of the
development, which is still being built out, is dedicated to greenways, parks
and lakes.
“While Babcock Ranch is designed
uniquely to its location and ecosystem, we’re seeing consumers, counties and
builders alike begin to take the progressive steps to adopting a new standard
for climate resilience to meet their needs across the globe,” Syd Kitson,
former NFL player and leader of Florida real estate development firm Kitson
& Partners, said of Babcock’s exportable resilience model.
“From building codes to technology and
other innovative adaptations.
Babcock Ranch might have been an early
adopter, but the tides are changing, and builders/developers are reacting
differently today than they did 10 years ago.
