Eco-city: Definition
Eco-cities are human settlements that respect the natural environment.
They use the least possible resources and keep waste and pollution to a
minimum. Instead, their economies are labour intensive.
Their buildings make good use of sun, wind and rain. Food and
goods are sourced locally. And transportation is limited to
walking and cycling, with public transport for longer journeys.
They encourage biodiversity by preserving natural habitats.
And, just as important, eco-cities offer their residents an excellent
quality of life.
