Strengthening the capacity of these existing organizations can greatly facilitate sustainable approaches to development Warren b; Atte The project, known as the Trans-agency Resources for Environmental and Economic Sustainability TREESdesigned best management practices to overhaul and manage the city's use of watersheds, tested the technical viability of the designs through pilot projects, created a cost-benefit modelling tool and conducted a cost-benefit analysis, and then applied the results more broadly.
