• <br /> Applied Sustainability: <br /> A Matrix for Local Government <br /> Programs & Policies <br /> Source: ICLEI <br /> The manner in which a municipality develops its land, builds housing, and manages its <br /> parks, to name a few, significantly affects a community's resources and its members' <br /> quality of life. Local government has a tremendous opportunity to positively impact the <br /> livability of its community and the viability of resources for current and future <br /> generations. <br /> The Applied Sustainability matrix provides guidance to municipal departments looking to <br /> build a more sustainable community. It offers broad policy direction and specific <br /> examples of municipal initiatives being undertaken around the U.S. that meet ICLEI's <br /> sustainability criteria. Use the guiding examples combined with your creativity to <br /> develop programs that will lead your municipality towards sustainability. <br /> • Click on a department for specific policy guidance and examples of sustainability <br /> initiatives: <br /> • Development Authority/Real Estate Office <br /> .
