Editing Berwyn, Illinois (section)

==Features==
Berwyn is a very diverse community, with some larger homes on its south side and many smaller, [[bungalow]]-type homes on the north side around [[Roosevelt Road]] and [[Cermak Road]].  The town also has many duplexes and three unit buildings.  Because of the predominance of small residences in Berwyn, the community has an unusually low carbon footprint.  According to data published by the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Berwyn had the lowest per capita CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from homes and private vehicles in the Chicago area.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/university-of-nebraska-press/9780803296886/ |last=Subak|first=Susan|title=The Five-Ton Life|date=2018|pages=123–125}}</ref>
