Developing infrastructure that is sustainable means thinking differently about how we build, what we build, and whether we build at all. It means designing and maintaining buildings, structures and streets with an eye to resource conservation over the life of the project. It means testing new materials and practices that leave lighter impacts on the environment yet are effective. The Sustainable Infrastructure Committee is made up of representatives from the Office of Transportation, Water, Bureau of Environmental Services, Parks and the Office of Sustainable Development. This group continues to look at ways the City can be more sustainable in how we create, maintain and dispose of our infrastructure.
