GreenStep Demonstration Project

 

ULI MN/RCM's environmental objectives include the reduction of green house gas emissions, protection of natural resources and the support of healthy living.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) selected ULI MN/RCM to implement the GreenStep Cities Demonstration Project--an action-oriented voluntary program offering a cost-effective pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by best practices in land use, transportation, building/facility design, environmental management, and community and economic development.

In October 2009, MPCA and ULI MN selected Bloomington, Edina, Falcon Heights, St. Louis Park and Victoria as the projects's first participating communities.

What they say...

The stunning breadth and depth of the current Recession continues to challenge every aspect of real estate development and community building. While both the public and private sectors struggle to attend to the realities of this crisis, our focus gets diverted from the fact that we are on the threshold of the most dramatic transformation of human settlement in history.

Sustainability isn’t a politically correct buzz word, or obligatory window dressing for every corporate brochure, or community website. On the contrary, it is the lens through which every decision about our built environment must be viewed. At ULI Minnesota we are committed to shaping and polishing that lens and openly sharing all the best ideas and innovations we see together. This is a fascinating time to be involved.
