EcoDistricts, Architecture 2030 and Elm Park are differing yet complimentary approaches to achieving minimal or zero-carbon neighborhoods and the lightest ecological footprint for urban development. Understand the goals and mechanisms of these sustainability movements and contrast their approaches to design.
Learn lessons from the EcoDistricts in Brooklyn, Denver, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere, on introducing neighborhood-scale technologies and initiatives such as district-wide retrofitting of buildings and streets, or district heating and cooling, in order to accelerate progress toward sustainability.
Be challenged by internationally renowned Elm Park in Dublin (winner of the ULI's sustainability award) which exemplifies the "housing as living energy" ethos through an innovative mixture of form and function. Additionally, hear the latest on Architecture 2030 and CNU's new partnership with the movement Urbanism+2030.
