Best of the United States: Greenest Cities
In the United States, some cities are considered to be greener than others. Back in February 2008, Popular Science produced a list of the top 50 greenest cities in the United States. These are the greenest cities in the United States based on their research study.
- Portland, OR
- San Francisco, CA
- Boston, MA
- Oakland, CA
- Eugene, OR
- Cambridge, MA
- Berkeley, CA
- Seattle, WA
- Chicago, IL
- Austin, TX
The top 50 cities, and further rankings, were determined based on scores related to four major categories: electricity, transportation, green living, and recycling. Cities scored well in the electricity category when they drew energy from renewable resources, such as solar power. Transportation points went to cities with good public transportation systems (ie places where the population actually uses public transportation). A green living score was determined based on the number of certified buildings and lastly, recycling points went to cities with great recycling systems and programs.
But that was over two years ago. What does it mean to be a green city today, and should we still measure using the same criteria? Are the green cities listed above still the greenest? Luckily, we can begin to answer these questions by looking at a new study published by the Business Courier of Cincinnati on March 11, 2010. According to the new research, here are the top ten green cities of 2010.
- Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, OR-WA
- San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA
- Honolulu, HI
- Austin-Round Rock, TX
- Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH
- Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA
- Denver-Aurora-Broomfield, CO
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Albuquerque, NM
- Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY
Cities were ranked using the ACBJ’s Green City Index. Essentially, the index compiles environmental data from various resources and organizations. For example, the index includes data on the number of LEED certified projects (procured from the US Green Building Council), air quality data (procured from the US EPA), and much, much more. Looking at these two lists, we can determine that places like Portland, San Francisco, and Boston are some of the greenest cities in the United States. And even within these green cities, there are even greener neighborhoods and districts. For example, it’s no wonder that people look for Jamaica Plain condos (Boston, MA). The neighborhood is known for being one of Boston’s greenest, with numerous parks and plenty of outdoor green space.
