Activity

The Green Century Institute has three primary areas of activity:

Green Community Network
A web-based resource exchange, publishing and outreach program promoting sustainable development and new community models. The GCN`s first phase will focus on the intelligent presentation of information and resources that foster green commercial and residential developments and green remodelling of existing communities.

Califia - San Francisco Bay Area Ecocity Project

Califia Sketchbook Design Competition is a proposed revolutionary urban settlement for 7000-10,000 residents that will showcase and test sustainable architectural designs and technologies, and new community models. Califia will be established within a 30 mile radius of San Francisco over a 10 year period. GCI is working with pioneers in large scale eco-city design to produce a comprehensive proposal for the project to share with potential stakeholders from the Bay Area, the commercial development sphere, civic and federal agencies, and the sustainable funding community.

Events and Media Development
The Green Century Institute produces the GCI Salon Series and Special Events on topics relevant to the Sustainable Community movement. With strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area technology community as well as the film and book publishing industries, GCI is developing media properties based on its events and research initiatives.
