Ecocity Builders

Non-profit organization, based in Oakland, California.

Goals

Reshape cities, towns and villages for long term health of human and natural systems.
Create thriving neighborhood centers.
Return healthy biodiversity to the heart of our cities, agriculture to gardens and the streets, and convenience and pleasure to walking, bicycling and transit.
Reopen waterways in neighborhood environments and downtown centers, for curious children, fish, frogs and dragonflies.
Reverse sprawl development.
Create whole cities based on human needs and “access by proximity” rather than cities built in the current pattern of automobile driven excess, wasteful consumption and the destruction of the biosphere.
