Buildings & Neighborhoods

It's no secret that San Franciscans identify strongly with the unique character of their city's buildings, streets, and neighborhoods. They also recognize the opportunity they've been given to make smart decisions. By thoughtfully integrating efforts in planning, infrastructure development, and green building design and construction, the people of San Francisco can align their best interests as citizens with those of the natural world and in so doing, protect the ecosystem, minimize energy consumption and resource depletion, and improve air and water quality. And they can do all this while creating healthy and vibrant communities for all.
