Ecocity World Summit
22 to 26 April 2008
San Francisco, United States

The Ecocity World Summit will address the ecological city, town and village from the perspectives of people, nature, sustainable development, economies and technologies, and incentives and support structures.

Join together with an international community of inspired change-makers who are putting their time and talents to work addressing crucial problems of the world's environment with thoughtful and long-range solutions that are truly sustainable, ecologically healthy and socially just.

The time to act is now. Life-threatening global environmental problems and limitations on resource consumption demand a restructuring of cities and transportation systems worldwide for long-term energy efficiency and conservation. Concerned citizens in every community - in every city, town and village - must get involved in formulating and implementing new land use and transportation policies and practices, preserving agricultural lands and open space, and reclaiming natural habitat.

The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 1 October 2007.
