There is opportunity to design innovative, scalable solutions to some of the challenges facing the city in sustainable, meaningful performance outcomes — in particular, the BelRed district, which is facing significant change with the construction of light rail. Focusing on the BelRed District, but with potential application toward other neighborhoods as well, review and develop recommendations for promoting future sustainable development. Evaluate neighborhood sustainability approaches such as Eco-districts and LEED for Neighborhood Development, develop concepts, best practices, and implementation strategies which could support implementation of the environmental goals of the BelRed plan through public-private partnerships.
