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.

Greetings,

As the Mayor of Portland, Oregon and founder of the Portland Sustainability Institute, I am pleased invite you to the second annual EcoDistricts Summit.

Portland is paving the way for sustainable neighborhood development through the EcoDistricts Initiative, but the complexity of the work requires collaboration between municipalities around the country as well as private practitioners, NGOs, and academics to shape the approach and implement projects.

The Summit is the premier annual global conference dedicated to neighborhood-scale sustainability innovation and is the place for municipalities, businesses, developers, architects, planners, engineers, and citizens to share lessons learned and build community.

I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,
Sam Adams, Mayor
