EcoDistricts Summit 2018

NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALLFor far too long, urban development has focused on real estate and infrastructure, rather than truly comprehensive investments that embrace the needs and challenges facing neighborhoods and cities.EcoDistricts is advancing a new model of urban development to empower just, sustainable, and resilient neighborhoods. The Protocol guides city makers to take a collaborative, holistic, neighborhood-scale approach to community design. We aim to mobilize, empower and accelerate sustainable and equitable urban development leadership throughout North America and beyond.

On October 17-18, the Summit is coming to Minneapolis-St. Paul — cities with a rich history of innovation in sustainable urban regeneration. This is demonstrated in the region's robust transit system, waterways, park system, neighborhood solar installations, revitalized former industrial districts and brownfield redevelopments. 
At the same time, Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to some of the greatest racial disparities in the country. Today, these very different yet dynamic cities are on the cusp of a breakthrough in urban regeneration, fueled by a generation of leaders that are harnessing the city’s civic entrepreneurism, thriving arts and culture community, and dedication to community-based placemaking.
 
<H2 CLASS="p1">About the EcoDistricts Summit</H2>
The annual Summit is the world’s only conference dedicated to neighborhood- and district-scale sustainability. Every year the EcoDistricts Summit brings together hundreds of thinkers and doers across civic, public and private sectors to explore best practices, challenges and real-world examples of equitable, resilient and sustainable development. We dive deep into how to get district scale projects done, and spend two days uncovering Minneapolis and St. Paul's most successful districts and neighborhoods.
