Lucia Athens blends case studies from cities throughout the U.S. with her own experiences and insights into the processes that led Seattle to become home to one of the highest concentration of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) buildings in the world. The result is a far-reaching book with broad applicability to the transformation of city building policies that encourage and reinforce "green" development. 606 $aUrban ecology (Sociology)$zUnited States 606 $aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSustainable buildings$zUnited States 615 0$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 615 0$aCity planning$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aSustainable buildings 676 $a307.1/2160973 700 $aAthens$b Lucia$f1960-$01691819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816762303321 996 $aBuilding an emerald city$94068498 997 $aUNINA
