Medellín, Colombia dropped its city's warming temps by a whopping 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

How?

They created "green corridors" of trees and plants throughout the built city.

It cost $6.50 per resident, and will save the city millions of dollars each year.

We need more of this!

Good article about reusing buildings. In the future, we don't want old cities with no heritage.

An exciting investment in #yeg #yegdt #yegPSE!

Affordable housing does not need to be ugly and we would get a lot more of it approved and built if your average citizen didn’t view its construction as a tradeoff against beauty.

[Saving Places @SavingPlaces]

After researching your historic home’s history and determining whether you’re restoring or rehabilitating it, you can start planning your project.

You can take on as many or as few aspects of planning as desired but don't forget these integral steps.
