Ecocity World Summit 2013
Description
Following on from Montreal, Istanbul, San Francisco, Bangalore, Shenzhen, Curitiba, Dakar, Adelaide and Berkeley, it will be the first edition to be held in the European Union.
ECOCITY is the cross-disciplinary World Summit on Sustainable Cities supported by the NGO Ecocity Builders.
The concept was originally designed to:
Facilitate exchanges among local, regional and governmental decision-makers, researchers and the civil society,
Bring together all the different disciplines on sustainable cities,
Offer equal treatment to all speakers,
Enable citizens to play a role.
This 10th edition positions «the city as a vital area of work to grapple with the global sustainability issues».
One year after Rio + 20, ECOCITY 2013 must be a platform to accelerate the transition on a global scale, in partnership with the United Nations. Ambitious goals have been set for the event:
A crucial political moment worldwide,
Mobilization of all the driving forces,
Emergence of large-scale solutions,
A change in the rules governing the city,
An action-driven schedule.
ECOCITY 2013 will be a unique opportunity to organize dialogue between the bearers of a European urban development model and their counterparts in other continents.
