Downtown's central location and density are equally important, reducing its "carbon footprint" and making it environmentally sustainable as well as "green". Learn downtown's environmental selling points, including the following:

Throughout the United States, the downtown private sector in many cities is assuming a larger role in managing the public realm. In many downtown areas, the private sector is managing construction of public improvements, including sign systems, parks, streets, public art, landscaping of rights of way, and other capital projects. Columbus is no exception. This session will explore the following:
