This well-designed report describes how New York and cities across the nation are using innovative strategies for water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste management. Case studies describe high- performance building programs in New York and Chicago, natural stormwater management systems in Staten Island and Seattle, environmentally preferable purchasing in Santa Monica, and a large-scale paper-reduction effort in New York. The report complements the High Performance Infrastructure Guidelines, available from the same publisher, which provide practical instructions for creating a sustainable cityscape.
