Our Sustainability Plan will guide City Government for decades to come. The plan is extensive. It is a collection of broad goals, specific objectives, and direct strategies that have been identified by the people of St. Louis as presenting the best opportunity to advance sustainability in the City. But, we also want it to be real. We want to improve our City in ways that people can feel, touch, understand and measure.

Our Sustainability Plan has three purposes: first, to make our City cleaner, safer, healthier, with less waste of energy and natural resources; second, to attract knowledge workers and others who want more sustainable spaces and neighborhoods; and third, to make life better and easier for all of our citizens.

Our Sustainability Plan is the result of two years of public engagement. The City intends to lead by example in implementing the plan. So, we have chosen to prioritize certain action items over the next five years. It is not just City government’s plan. It is our City’s plan. It is my hope that individuals, community organizations, and neighborhoods will both embrace and help implement it.
