EcoDistricts: A New Model of Urban Re-Generation
In this workshop you’ll discover a framework to transform existing neighborhoods through the lens of Equity, Resilience and Climate Change and a process to create a roadmap and structure for communities to move forward.
This hands-on workshop will help you understand how to develop an action plan for how to move communities forward. The EcoDistrict processes a template for bringing together community leaders, developers, architects and planners to envision and create sustainable neighborhoods, working at the district or neighborhood scale. The EcoDistrict Protocol has been successfully used in a number of communities, ranging from new community development projects to existing densely populated neighborhoods, to build a community vision and plan for how to meet that vision. The protocol is not a checklist or a set of targets, but rather a framework for working as a community to define meaningful goals and appropriate actions.
Local EcoDistrict Accredited Professional Jim Newman and founder and former Executive Director of EcoDistricts.org, Rob Bennet will together, present some history, some community experiences, and a lot of information about theEcoDistrict Protocol and how it works.
