Ecocity Builders, along with our advisors and partner organizations, is working to define “ecocities” by developing of a set of standards, criteria and metrics against which to evaluate and judge new and existing cities’ progress towards becoming an “ecocity.”
International Ecocity Standards will evaluate different scales of development, from the small neighborhood scale to the regional scale. Similar to LEED green building standards, International Ecocity Standards will rate urban development at various levels of attainment.
