Ecodistrict
Environmental planning
An ecodistrict or eco-district (from "ecological" and "district") is a neighborhood, urban area, or region whose urban planning aims to integrate objectives of sustainable development and social equity, and to reduce the district's ecological footprint. The notion of an "ecodistrict" insists on the consideration of all environmental issues, via a collaborative process.
In order to design ecodistricts, one needs to completely redesign their energy system plans. The usage of photovoltaic panels and electric vehicles is common.
Examples
Ecodistricts can be found in metropolises such as :
- Stockholm (Hammarby Sjöstad) (Sweden)
- Hanover (Germany)
- Marseille (Euroméditerranée) (France)
- Bordeaux (Ginko) (France)
- Freiburg im Breisgau (Vauban, Freiburg) (Germany)
- Malmö (BO01) (Sweden)
- London (BedZED) (United Kingdom)
- Grenoble (De Bonne and Blanche Monier) (France)
- Dongtan (China)
- EVA Lanxmeer (Netherlands)
- Amsterdam-Noord (Netherlands)
- Jono district low-carbon project (Kitakyushu, Japan)
- Frequel-Fontarabie (Paris, France)
- Atlanta (Midtown, Atlanta Georgia) (United States)
- Energy Hub Project— Tweewaters Leuven (Belgium)
- Etna, PA named first ever US Ecodistrict in 2019 (Etna, Pennsylvania)
