The Economics Of Greening Cities

"Whether people are motivated by economic theory, local needs, or international agreements, there are practical steps to a more humanistic economy. Governments have many tools for influencing economic development, including public enterprise, public-private partnerships, incentives and grants, purchasing, regulation, and social welfare policies. A “Green” goal would simply be working towards increasing desirable economic activity and reducing the undesirable."
