         Community of Civano, Arizona The nationally acclaimed Community of Civano was the first major, master-planned sustainable development in the United States. While the developer was Civano Development, LLC, this partnership was a public/private endeavor that raised the bar on land planning and production housing construction techniques. In fact, the community's design standards in 1999 surpassed the current model energy code by 50%, provided active solar energy options for every home, promoted numerous sustainable building materials, fostered a 30% reduction of potable water, adhered to new urbanism planning and met the Kyoto Protocols for 2010; over a decade ahead of its time.
