U.S. Environmental Protection Agency staff explored the potential for a Sustainable Skylines project in Philadelphia at a meeting hosted by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission.

The Sustainable Skylines initiative is a voluntary partnership program developed and funded by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. The program integrates transportation, energy, land use and air quality planning programs into projects that yield measurable air quality benefits in a relatively short period of time.

A description of the Region 6 pilot project that provides insight into this program is available online.
