In this project, sponsored by the City of Worcester Planning and Regulatory Division, we applied a system of appropriate indicators by which the city can compare its current sustainability policies to those of competing cities with similar demographics. We analyzed Worcester's gaps and produced recommendations in the areas of cluster zoning, sustainability management, environmentally sensitive zoning, land use plans, green building and renewable energy use.
