Rethinking the territory, Concepción Chile. A resilient and strategic planning for a vulnerable urban coastal system -- Chapter 5. Willingness to use non-motorized transport is underestimated -- Chapter 6. Informal Solutions Towards Personal Net Zero -- Part III. Circular Economy -- Chapter 7. Making cement from demolished concrete: a potential circular economy through geopolymer chemistry -- Chapter 8. A hybrid model for sustainable urban metabolism in metropolitan communities -- Part IV. Informal Solutions for Sustainable Development -- Chapter 9. Elements of community capacity building in post-earthquake reconstruction of Nepal -- Chapter 10. Developing a decentralized and integrated water management System for Neighborhood Communities within Indonesia’s informal urban Settlements -- Conclusion.

This book presents a selection of the best papers submitted to the International Ecocity World Summit held in Vancouver, October 7-11, 2019. The objective is to accelerate knowledge dissemination about the development of ecocities through attention to what constitutes an ecocity, what cities around the world are doing, what Vancouver as an emerging ecocity is doing, and how education can play a role in preparing the next generation of ecocity practitioners. The book uses the Summit’s overarching theme and sub-themes as an organizing framework and aligns with the International Ecocity Standards that serve as a diagnostic tool to help cities assess their progress on the path to becoming ecocities. The Ecocity Standards are also proving useful to communities in developing locally relevant pathways to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The book is presented in four parts that align with the Summit overarching theme of i) building a bridge to socially just and ecologically sustainable cities, supported by sub-themes of ii) climate action, iii) circular economy, and iv) informal solutions for sustainable development. Chapters comprising each part in the book are introduced by a brief precis that orients the reader to the relevant Ecocity Standards that are being addressed and other important contextual considerations that open the potential application of the chapters to an international audience. Arguments presented in the selected papers provide an orientation to the importance of engaging people, where they live, in ecocity transformations as well as emerging opportunities for affordable and accessible technologies that help cities build capacity for implementation of ecocity initiatives.
