In the 41 years since EDRA was established, government policies have had a tremendous influence on the built environment. Funding priorities often determine the kinds of settings created: how many low-income housing units must be built, how many prison beds must be provided, the protection of natural landscapes, and so on. Legislation and rulings such as the Americans with Disabilities Act have had a significant impact on design decisions. More recently, issues such as energy efficient buildings and security have received much attention by builders, clients and designers, and have influenced how buildings are designed, how they are constructed, and how people use them. These same changes are also occurring in other cities and capitols around the world. Bringing edra to the arena of U.S. policymaking provides our organization with a unique opportunity to explore the nature of policy and the built environment.
