A Green Future For Nation's Cities
Neal Peirce discusses how cities such as Boston and Chicago are betting on green buildings.
"...several American mayors (Chicago's Richard Daley and Boston's Thomas Menino, for example) are making "green" buildings, indeed building entire "green" city economies, a top priority.
And now we're starting to see stunning examples of energy conservation mixed with smart economics and city design worthy of the new century...
The moral is clear: great new American city places can be envisioned and built. "
