Plans and Policies
Cambridge has carefully planned and created policies that gave the City a unified roadmap and enforceable standards to cut building greenhouse gas emissions and energy use, reduce waste and electrify transportation, and harden infrastructure citywide. They also institutionalized accountability for measurable outcomes.
