The tenth edition of Ecocity, world summit of sustainable cities, will be held in Nantes, France, from 25 to 27 September 2013.

Supported by the NGO Ecocity Builders, the Ecocity concept was originally designed to: 

  • Facilitate exchanges among local, regional and governmental decision-makers, researchers and the civil society,
  • Bring together all the different disciplines on sustainable cities,
  • Offer equal treatment to all speakers,
  • Enable citizens to play a role.

Under the heading “The city as a vital area of work to grapple with the global sustainability issues,” the conference will serve as a platform to accelerate change at a global level in partnership with the United Nations.  This will be an unique opportunity to organize dialogue between the bearers of a European urban development model and their counterparts in other continents.

25–27 September 2013
Nantes, France
