We are a small NGO with an international network of associates and colleagues plus a number of close collaborators and advisors, cultivated over the course of more than forty years of consistent work by our founder, Richard Register. Building on our backgrounds, abilities and experiences, Ecocity Builders is able to influence and participate in a wide variety of conversations and projects related to the ecocity approach worldwide. We promote our vision through our educational materials, consulting, conferences (both local and international) and through hands-on projects and initiatives. We have successfully initiated local on-the-ground breakthrough projects including "slow streets", creek daylighting, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275512612_1">human scale</span> infill development design, sustainable neighborhood development masterplans, and <span style="cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275512612_2">urban agriculture projects</span>.

We are often consultants to grassroots community groups, campuses, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275512612_3">local governments</span>, developers and regional agencies. Through our educational materials, newsletters, activist mailers, and conferences we promote and help create the built <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275512612_4">human habitat</span> in balance with living systems. Through hands-on projects in our community, we build pieces of the real thing.<br /><br />Website: <a href="http://www.ecocitybuilders.org/">http://www.ecocitybuilders.org</a><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2602229635460360092-6472497221276858160?l=ecocitydreamin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Building Cities in Balance with Naturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10047835996051894164noreply@blogger.com
