Ecocity World Summit (7th International Ecocity Conference)
San Francisco, California,
USA
April
22-26, 2008
This conference is unique and here's why:
Ecocity World Summit puts the largest things humans create - cities, towns and
villages - squarely within the context of the triple crisis of peak oil,
species extinction and climate change, and focuses on how we can redesign the
built environment so that it works for everybody, not just the few, and is
contributing to biodiveristy on the planet, not destroying it.
In order to communicate and further develop this shared vision of the city,
town and village built in balance with nature, we're assembling the world's
ecocity visionaries and thought leaders, plus the people, businesses and
organizations out there working to build the better city right now.
Life-threatening global environmental problems and limitations on resource
consumption demand a restructuring of cities and transportation systems
worldwide for long-term energy efficiency and conservation. Concerned citizens
in every community - in every city, town and village - must get involved in
formulating and implementing new land use and transportation policies and
practices, preserving and reclaiming agricultural lands and open space, and
reclaiming natural habitat.
We encourage you to register online at your earliest convenience, especially if
you need accommodations in San
Francisco, and if you'd like to take advantage of
early registration rates.
We're looking forward to seeing you next April in San Francisco!
