New D.C. green mandate could have national impact
By Jane M. Wolkowicz

Office of Planning issues new regulations for multifamily and commercial buildings city-wide, varying by zone. Each zone would need to dedicate a certain proportion of space to landscaping or permeable surfaces in an attempt to promote sustainability. The plan is modeled after European cities including Berlin and Malmö, Sweden. Seattle has its own "Green Factor" program already in place.
