The Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) on Wednesday announced the launch of the locally applicable version of the Green Star – Communities rating tool in South Africa. The tool is a framework that will drive the development of more sustainable neighbourhoods and precincts, ultimately making African cities more sustainable. The Green Star – Communities rating tool assists governments, development project teams, contractors and other interested parties aiming to deliver large-scale sustainable developments to provide diverse, affordable, inclusive, well-connected and healthy places to live, work and play; protect, maintain and restore the natural environment by reducing the ecological footprint of developments; and receive recognition for demonstrated leadership and commitment to sustainability.
