Both projects aimed to create mixed-use, sustainable developments through diverse and integrated designs. Jubilee Wharf in Britain included affordable housing, commercial space, and public areas on the ground floor. Via Verde in New York transformed a brownfield into low, middle and market-rate housing organized around shared green spaces. Both incorporated renewable energy sources, green roofs, and other eco-friendly features to reduce their environmental impact while fostering socially diverse communities.

not just the environmental sustainability of green roofs and
compact fluorescents but also the social and economic sustainability
that can only result from housing with a mix of incomes and uses.
