Trust for Architectural Easements and Island Press Promote Sustainability and Historic Preservation in New York
Focusing on walkable urban centers and away from drivable suburban sprawl will require federal policy leadership and local action to change regulations. Many areas of the United States have zoning and building codes that discourage historic building rehabilitation and the creation of sustainable urban communities due to ambiguous terminology and the interpretive whims of the code officials.
