This spring marks one year since the City of Cambridge achieved the highest 5-STAR rating in the country from STAR Communities, recognizing Cambridge as a national leader in sustainability. 
STAR Communities administers the leading framework and certification program for evaluating community-wide sustainability based on environmental, social, and economic performance measures. The certification process was led by the Community Development Department and involved the efforts of over 15 departments, reflecting the City’s collaborative determination to ensure that Cambridge is a flourishing community where people enjoy living, working, and visiting.
Cambridge’s sustainability was measured in several categories, including built environment, climate & energy, economy, and healthy & safety. To learn more about the City’s performance and notable plans & policies related to sustainability, visit: http://bit.ly/STARCambMA
