Three designs have been selected in the quest to erect America’s first fully sustainable city block in Dallas. I’m sure it’s a lovely place and all, but when I think of major, eco-progressive American cities, Dallas, Texas, usually doesn’t come to mind. Like many of my MTV Generation peers who have never spent a substantial amount of time in Dallas, I usually associate the city with two things: cheerleaders, capitalism and the Ewing family. In fact, as I write this I have the Dallas theme running through my head, not visions of green.
