Green Ground Zero to Launch Sustainable Design Competition for Lower Manhattan. William McDonough will give keynote speech.

July, 2003 -- On September 4, Green Ground Zero will launch the Green Ground Zero Sustainable Design Competition as part of its ongoing effort to promote environmentally sophisticated urbanism in Lower Manhattan. Famed green architect, writer and businessman William McDonough will host the evening launch event.
   
The competition encourages applicants from every field and background to elaborate visions of a sustainable Lower Manhattan. Submissions will deal with aspects of sustainability ranging from architecture and transportation to greenery and energy usage for any or all parts of Manhattan below Canal Street.

The competition's key aim is to capture the public's imagination with innovative proposals and thereby initiate a lively debate about the environmental future of Lower Manhattan. The competition will also provide an opportunity to showcase the work of the many groups that have already addressed ecological, health, and quality of life aspects of downtown redevelopment.
