New York City’s Green New Deal would ban all-glass skyscrapers

New York City’s $14 billion Green New Deal, recently unveiled by Mayor Bill de Blasio, includes a ban on inefficient “classic glass and steel skyscrapers.”

The controversial measure is part of a plan to reduce greenhouse emissions 30% by 2030. Also included is a mandate to building owners to retrofit their structures to make them more energy efficient.

Non-compliance with the mayor’s 2030 goals could result in fines of $1 million or more.
