Sustainable Cities Network workgroups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sustainable Cities Network <\/strong>workgroups are comprised of local practitioners from various cities, towns, counties, and tribal communities and are organized around common sustainability interests, needs, and goals. A workgroup is formed when a universal topic need is identified and a community \u201cchampion\u201d volunteers to lead and guide the workgroup.
