PRINCIPLE 9

Sustainable Development

We combine sustainable development, including urban form, mix, and location of uses with walking networks, sustainable infrastructure, social programs, and building technologies.

Positive health and wellness benefits result from:

  • Low impact development and green building technologies.
  • A broad, integrated approach to sustainability, which can be measured by programs such as LEED, WELL, and Fitwel.
