Overview

What makes a city great? Join the National Building Museum and the U.S. Green Building Council to share recipes for success.

Jurisdictions around the Washington DC region are navigating shared challenges including affordability, growth, mobility, climate change, and community trust. The City Cookbook brings together local government stakeholders to share frameworks, ingredients, and “recipes” that shape thriving, future-focused cities.

Join us for lightning “cooking classes” highlighting regional success stories, roundtable recipe exchanges for more in-depth discussions, and a closing “bake-off” to share insights and proposed actions.
