Portland, OR is ranked as the greenest city in the US...

Blake Ellis - Wednesday, March 17, 2010

In the past few years, the green movement has become a huge focus in the Northwest. In my own business, I've seen major changes in how buildings are built, the types of systems that run buildings, and how the public places value on sustainability and green practices. Now, nearly all new construction condo towers in Portland, Oregon's Pearl District are LEED rated, and Portland is home to the first LEED Platinum rated residential highrise condo tower, The Casey.

A recent article reports that Portland, Oregon is being noticed for its efforts, being rated the greenest city in the US! See below for more info on this, courtesy of the Portland Business Journal.

_______

The Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton metro area ranked No. 1 among 43 U.S. metro areas in a report on America’s “green cities.”

The “Green Cities Index” ranks metro areas on a variety of environmental factors, including traffic congestion, transit use, water quality, carbon emissions, LEED-certified projects and number of “green” jobs.

The index was compiled by the Business Courier of Cincinnati, which is owned by American City Business Journals, the parent company of the Portland Business Journal.

The index draws on data from a variety of government and research agencies.

For the index, the paper evaluated the 40 markets in which American City Business Journals publishes newspapers, plus Los Angeles, where the company operates a business-news Web site, and Indianapolis and Cleveland.

The index looked at such variables as commuting habits of residents, travel time and fuel use, and air and water quality.

The Portland region received high rankings for having the second most LEED-certified building projects in the country and for having minimal sprawl — Portland ranked fourth in the sprawl index behind San Francisco, Boston and Honolulu.

Portland’s poorest showing came in the ranking for commute travel time, where it came in 21st. At 19th, Austin was the only metro area in the green top five with a better travel-time ranking.

The city with the No. 1 travel time ranking was Wichita, Kan. Not surprisingly, Witchita ranked No. 43 for use of public transportation. Portland ranked eighth for public transportation use.
