There is now a cohort, expanding year by year, of experienced green affordable housing developers with useful stories to tell. Although the field is relatively rich with technical and practical information about green housing, it is only in the last few years that it has become possible to produce a broad, detailed account of sustainable development drawn from green housing developers themselves. This report is one attempt to collect those firsthand experiences and lessons from participants in eight Green Communities developments. Together, they form a kind of present-tense dispatch from the front lines of the revolution.
