This report indicates that the current green systems conditions in the Uptown District are poor overall. Of particular concern are water consumption, lack of trees, and high temperatures. Sustainable green systems strives for fully functional stormwater, biodiversity, and resource management practices, as well as sustainable levels of thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and access to green space. The current state assessment is based on four goals of sustainable green systems, derived from sustainability and livability principles (HUD, 2009): 1. Reduce stormwater loads and harvest water on-site; 2. Reduce potable water consumption; 3. Reduce daytime temperatures; 4. Increase green systems benefits to health, mobility, and the economy.
This appendix contains descriptive data on housing conditions in Uptown through a series of tables, charts, and maps.
