摘要

Jacques Chevalier The energy challenge and the «turning point for city planning» The initiatives of metropolitan areas in the United States.

Local elected representatives and state governments have taken the initiative on action to help the climate. The media is holding up a few cities, which have the highest profile in these policies, as icons, but many others are also going down the green building road.
