Building the Bridge to Socially Just and Ecologically Sustainable Cities
The Summit will help to build an infrastructure of ideas, strategies, and actions we can all use to promote cities that are socially inclusive and ecologically healthy. This year’s primary theme is “socially just and ecologically sustainable cities.” Important sub-themes include: climate action, circular economy, and informal solutions for sustainable development. These themes weave through the conference tracks. The 2019 conference brings focus to the International Ecocity Standards (IES) by using its four pillars as the conference tracks:
- Urban design
- Bio-geophysical conditions
- Socio-cultural features
- Ecological imperatives
