About Green Map®
Green Map® System is an international network of locally-led mapmaking projects. Using Green Map’s adaptable tools and universal iconography, mapmakers have created ‘portraits’ of their communities in over 55 countries. As a guide for residents and tourists, a form of reference for city planning and a visual inventory of Stamford’s sustainability assets, a green map will:
- Strengthen local-global sustainability networks
- Expand the demand for healthier, greener choices
- Help successful initiatives spread to even more communities
By locating "green sites" in Stamford, we can better understand our development and potential for future growth.
Benefits
Stamford Green Map organizations and businesses can take advantage of free publicity associated with their presence. Copies of the map will be made available at various locations throughout the city.

On this system, users can share comments, photos and impacts from your site. Be a part of a growing movement towards local participation in green economic and social development.
An educated consumer is your best customer. Promote the efforts you have made towards sustainable practices and create a competitive market advantage over your peers.

Vision
A green map of Stamford will connect people to their city, their neighborhood and their neighbors. Supporting local businesses, sharing public space and making informed decisions about services we already use promote economic growth and positive perceptions. By visualizing various sites that encourage an awareness of our physical and social environment, the map will assist the Land Use Bureau, Planning & Zoning departments in future project decisions. Patterns of green growth in Stamford shown on the map will only compliment the Master Plan and future Sustainability Amendment. It is our goal that a green map will inform us and the community about our sustainable assets and potential.
