The Southwest Ecodistrict: Creating a National Showcase of Sustainability (CM | 1.5)

The National Capital Planning Commission, the federal government’s regional planning agency, in conjunction with federal and local partners is developing a bold new vision for Southwest Washington. Learn how NCPC and the city proposes to transform a staid mid-century federal office precinct – merely steps from the National Mall – into a vibrant livable community and showcase of sustainability.
