The Summit is the first conference of its kind focusing on neighborhood-scale sustainable development. It serves the entire spectrum of district-scale development practitioners: developers, investors, companies, architecture and engineering firms, policymakers, NGOs, researchers, municipalities, and others in the field.
Summit attendees will include leading sustainable development business leaders, practitioners, advocates, and academics.
Please join PoSI and the growing network of urban innovators at the 2012 International EcoDistricts Summit.
Each year, we convene some of the world's leading professionals and projects to share best practices, explore innovative topics and connect with each other. 2012 will be no exception as we continue to seek out the most inspiring global projects and people that are making them happen. PoSI is committed to mainstreaming the solutions we need to create sustainable neighborhoods and cities. The Summit is an important part of this work. We look forward to seeing you in October.
