Sustainable development integrates social, economic and environmental concerns to create a better quality of life today and for future generations. Investment in the Beaverton Central Plant, to support the re-development of the downtown core, is a pilot project allowing the City to explore practical implications of sustainable development and smart growth.
BCP has been an integral part of the Round, a mixed-use transit-oriented development, designed to support a vision of suburban regeneration that would create new vitality for residents, tenants, pedestrians, and passengers along rapid transit nodes.
Concepts of sustainable development are informing many cities’ visions of the future around the world. As Beaverton’s own vision of sustainability evolves, additional initiatives related to energy, transportation, land use, and water may follow.
