The measurable results of our SCCP include an increase in Texas cities having higher municipal standards and ordinances, increase in number of Scenic Cities across Texas, high quality of life for citizens, improved environmental education for community members and city officials, enhanced landscaping and infrastructure standards, and upgraded outdoor spaces. Our program uplifts communities, enhances civic beautification, promotes environmental sustainability, and improves the well-being of all residents of Texas. We believe in building sustainable communities and designing greenspaces that are accessible to all residents to ensure environmental equity, which is a key metric for success of the program. The SCCP is backed by a proven track record of success for upholding high-quality scenic standards and implementing sustainable landscaping practices. The implementation of SCCP is expected to enhance the scenic quality of outdoor spaces and, as a result, improve the well-being of all residents of Texas. The SCCP is used to maintain and enhance ecologically sensitive areas, shared community spaces, parks, walkable sidewalks, and the scenic roads that connect all Texans. The SCCP provides city leaders and members of the community with innovative tools and educational resources used for the development, implementation, and evaluation of landscaping plans and infrastructure standards.

The Scenic City Certification Program (SCCP) was developed and implemented to establish a foundation of cohesive scenic standards and land planning practices that advance sustainability through environmental conservation, ecosystem management, and environmental education.
