TEP prepared a green infrastructure (GI) strategy which included a green space masterplan and proposed GI standards for use in development control. Lee’s design concepts were derived from TEP’s strategy. Judges commented that “the submission included a thorough analysis with impressive proposals for green infrastructure and green housing.”
