EcoCity World Summit 2019

The World Gathers for Ecocity World Summit 2019

The Ecocity World Summit addresses the way humanity builds its home — its cities, towns and villages. The aim is to unite people through a new way of living on the planet that provides the best possible cities while enhancing, not destroying, the biosphere.

The 2019 Ecocity World Summit brings together a diverse mix of researchers, policy makers, city-building professionals, business innovators, and civil society leaders who share a commitment to creating socially just and ecologically sustainable cities. Join participants from over 75 countries to explore solutions and opportunities to:

·         reshape cities to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect natural habitat,

·         create urban spaces to enable access to employment, shelter and services at any income level.

Everyone who is passionate about building and living in sustainable cities is welcome.

The Ecocity World Summit will take place from October 7-11, 2019 with the first two days dedicated to workshops, field trips and academic sessions. The following three days, comprising the main conference program, will engage academics, practitioners, and other interested parties in the conference theme of “Socially Just and Ecologically Sustainable Cities.”

To encourage broad participation in the summit, Ecocity 2019 offers a tiered fee structure, with reduced registration fees for delegates from middle- or low-income countries (LMIC) (based on the World Bank Classification), as well as for student and post-doc delegates.
