development of underutilized urban land is an important aspect of
sustainable community planning. Sustainable principles maintain community
livability by incorporating life cycle strategies that support improvements
to urban environmental quality while realizing economic and social
benefits. The Sustainable Communities Feature provides information
on sustainable solutions, encourages the revitalization of central
cores, identifies best practices and approaches in urban environmental
management and economic development, promotes affordable, healthy
housing, and showcases success stories.
