Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia
to evaluate the local economic impact of Green City, Clean Waters, an ambitious initiative of the Philadelphia Water Department that is investing in Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) throughout the City. Our analysis revealed that the local GSI industry is experiencing double-digit annual revenue growth, supporting as many as 430 local jobs, and generating nearly $1 million in City tax revenues yearly.

ANBOUND published,
Hong Kong's prosperity and the Chinese economy
which reexamines the relationship between China and Hong Kong due to the recent uprising of the people of Hong Kong.
