The EcoDistricts Summit, the premier conference dedicated to the global movement to promote sustainable neighborhood development, is coming to Boston this November!
What’s an ecodistrict, you ask? An ecodistrict is a new model of public-private partnership that emphasizes innovation and deployment of district-scale best practices to create the neighborhoods of the future – resilient, vibrant, resource efficient and just.
Each year the EcoDistricts Summit convenes leading municipal policymakers, developers, business leaders, planners, and community leaders – people with decision-making power – to share best practices and shape the growing EcoDistricts marketplace. More than 30 plenary sessions and panel discussions are carefully curated to introduce conference participants to cutting-edge projects and thought leadership in green buildings, as well as smart infrastructure and community action.
USGBCMA is a Community Sponsor for the conference and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available. Feel free to contact us at info@usgbcma.org with any questions or Teague Douglas of EcoDistricts at Teague@ecodistricts.org.
Early bird registration ends September 30th. Register now and save!
P.S. Hear John Dalzell, Senior Architect at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, Host Sponsor for the Summit, talk about ecodistricts in Boston!,
