Summary

This report focuses on the present state of tools to model and evaluate the relative climate change benefits of alternative development approaches in cities, ranging from the project to the neighborhood to the metropolitan scale. Continued tool development will enhance connections among various tools, create new methods of evaluating urban form and GHG emissions, and establish test cases through which new tools can be applied and refined.
