Sustainable Skylines- Dallas

ダラス市がＥＰＡとのパートナーシップのもと、標記イニシアチブを開始しました。



これは、グリーンビルディングや、省エネなどの取り組みのほか緑を活用したアプローチでダラス市の大気を改善しようという取り組みです。



緑のアプローチとしてはヒートアイランド対策や雨水流失低減策として以下のものが提示されています。

• Develop and implement a comprehensive tree canopy management program (city has approximately $1 million worth of trees available for planting)
  
• Identify and implement financial-based incentive programs to encourage conversion of Central City property to permeable and shaded surfaces Implement practical examples of cool (i.e., reflective) and/or green (i.e., vegetated) roofs and publicize positive results and implications
  
• Implement examples of heat island and stormwater runoff mitigation technologies including shaded, vegetated and permeable surfaces and bioswales
  
• Identify City ordinances that could be revised to help reduce the urban heat island effect and mitigate stormwater runoff in Dallas
  
• Use Federal ($65,464) & local ($1 million) matching funds 

都市林マネジメントプログラムや、屋上緑化効果の公表や推進、不透水層の削減と緑の排水システム（bioswales）の推進などが挙がっています。
