SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
|
|
Buildings and urban infrastructure account for a significant portion of global energy and natural material use. We have an obligation to current and future generations to ensure our urban imprints are as sustainable as possible. Vulcan's development of South Lake Union in Seattle is a leading example of sustainable urban real estate development. The urban revitalization project combines life sciences, office and retail uses and residential buildings. This enables people to live and work in close proximity, minimizes suburban sprawl, and reduces commuting and automobile use. Green building design also reduces environmental impacts.
