Resilient Urban Environments

Along with population growth, urban areas are expanding or being renovated all over the world. This forces us to effectively plan the urban environment, moving beyond the building boundary, to achieve a truly sustainable infrastructure that integrates land use, transportation, food, waste management, water management, etc.

ENVISION is a certification with a broad and global vision of infrastructure projects, which evaluates the value that these projects bring to the community where they are located and their contribution to sustainability. In Green Loop we have qualified personnel for technical support in the development of sustainable infrastructure projects, from ports, bridges, roads, to wind farms, among others.

LEED for Cities and Communities is a certification program that evaluates sustainability at the city and community level, aimed at improving the quality of life of the people who live in these areas. At Green Loop we achieved the first LEED C&C certification for a project in Latin America, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability in a comprehensive manner.

Sites is a certification for urban developments with an emphasis on ecology, landscaping and nature and their integration with the built environment. Sites can be applied to development projects with or without buildings, including parks, squares, streets and different uses such as commercial, residential, institutional, educational and others.

The Well Community Standard aims to impact individuals throughout the public spaces where they spend their days. A Well community functions to protect health and well-being across all aspects of community life. The standard focuses on ten concepts to support the development: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community.

The Living Community Challenge is a framework for master planning, design, and construction. It is a tool to create a symbiotic relationship between people and all aspects of the built environment.

The program is a call to action to governments, campuses, planners, developers and neighborhood groups to create communities that are as connected and beautiful as a forest.
