What is a City of the Future?
Interesting discussion and plenty of links on local sustainability from WorldChanging:
... as more funds are available -– for example, the $100 billion earmarked in the stimulus package for energy grants to states and localities, or the $6.3 billion targeted for clean energy grants, or the $17 billion for transit or part of the $40 billion for roads, bridges and other infrastructure — a high priority should be to begin putting each city on the road to the future.
Where should we be spending our dollars to balance environmental, social and economic concerns? And how can we be sure our leaders are accountable?
