India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Korea, South America, European city centers --see how dense, compact urban habitat can be built without dependence on motorized or mechanized transport and provide the necessary preconditions for a rich and vibrant public life. Kirsten Miller and Richard Register will discuss principles of ecocities and a step-by-step method for building cities for people, not cars. The presentation will be followed by an interactive session based on an evolving ecocity framework under development by Ecocity Builders and an international advisory committee.
