 Building Better II: A Guide to America's Best New Development Projects Fall 2006 Clean Water Edition
As development occurs, public officials, planners, developers and others must seek better methods of managing stormwater. The following ten examples – from urban greening projects to restored prairies and wetlands – demonstrate what some of the nation's leading communities, institutions, developers, and others are doing to protect our water quality. Just as last year's Building Better report highlighted best practices in development and attracted wide interest and positive attention from the nation's industry leaders, we hope this year's "Clean Water Edition" of the report will prompt stronger, more natural, stormwater management methods from public and private sectors alike.
