Abstract:
As communities and cities look to achieve better sustainability through urban regeneration and infrastructure rehabilitation, new mandates, metrics, and methods are being employed to provide improved predictability and decision making throughout the planning, design, construction, and operation lifecycle. See examples from Greensburg, Kansas (as seen on PBS), a city that decided to “Go Green” and rebuild the city following a devastating tornado that wiped out 80 percent of the city and explore other green projects that seek to achieve better future results by addressing the triple bottom line of economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
