Toolkit

greener cities

Cities on the road to sustainability can’t afford to waste time or scarce resources on new policies and systems that ultimately are pushed aside. Cities and communities can’t afford to ignore the residents and businesses as they evaluate options and develop action plans around sustainability. Comprehensive and collaborative planning are what this toolkit is all about.

The Greener Cities Rapid Assessment is a comprehensive outline that your community can complete in collaboration to comprehensively evaluate and prioritize the options available to meet your goals and budget. The starter toolkit will help stakeholders define the appropriate goals, options and priorities.

Many communities are improving the energy efficiency of city buildings and vehicle fleets, but other strategies such as investments, tax policies, water use, tree management, open space, expanded recycling efforts, and others represent significant opportunities for change.
