In El Paso, City leaders, staff and partners have been investing their efforts into projects and plans to improve the community’s quality of life. At times, these ideas have developed in many directions without a consistent overall strategy. This “Livable City Sustainability Plan” provides the overall strategy for future efforts to improve quality of life.
The plan was inspired by the City Council’s strategic goal to make El Paso “the most livable city in the United States.” El Paso has chosen to embrace sustainability as the road to becoming a model livable city. Sustainability can often be a confusing or vague concept. Sustainability is an approach that accounts for environmental, economic and social impacts when considering new policies or programs.
