A new web site has launched that will provide information on "green vendors and service providers in 354 cities, green networking opportunities, and job listings at 'eco-conscious companies.'"
My guess is that sustainability will emerge as another important dimension along which "quality places" will be evaluated. As economic development morphs into a "war for talent", more and more EDPros will need to focus on sustainability to build what we once called "quality of life".
Equally important, these strategies can potentially strengthen local and regional economies by accelerating the velocity of "local dollars" circulating in an economy. In China, you will hear some economists refer to the "circle economy". Strengthening local linkages in a way that promotes the reuse of resources can be an important local strategy.
