Our Humble Neighbors To The North Are Also Leaving Us In The Dust
[ Dockside Green rendering: Busby, Perkins+Will ]
In case you haven’t already, you can add Canada to the long list of countries that are actually building the type of large-scale, cutting edge green developments that we here in the U.S. seem only capable of talking about.
Designed by Busby, Perkins+Will, Dockside Green, in Victoria, B.C. will be the greenest mixed-use neighborhood in Canada. You name the sustainability strategy, they’re applying it. And targeting LEED platinum for every building on the site. Etc, etc. I don’t have it in me to list all the green design features here, so it’s up to you to go read about it and weep.
Weep, that is, if you live in the U.S. — because you won’t find anything that even comes close to this project in your own country. Please do correct me if I’m wrong and there’s something new and amazing out there I don’t know about. And I’d also be curious to hear about projects people have come across that represent the best the U.S. has done so far.
