Planning Scorecards that Go Beyond

We develop scorecards for green space plans and other types of urban planning to track these indicators. A key reason we value scorecards is the need for more granular data to inform decision-making than can be achieved with existing tools. The scorecards provide stakeholders with a common language and a clear set of priorities, and are also useful in helping to secure funding.

Climate Action Planning at Different Scales

Climate action happens at the community scale, as well as regionally and at the state level. By planning at every scale, opportunities for greater impact can be created. Often the key to being able to take advantage of funding opportunities for environmental programs and projects, is simply to have an implementable plan in place.
