The notion of an "ecodistrict" insists on the consideration of all environmental issues, via a collaborative process. In order to design ecodistricts, one needs to completely redesign their energy system plans. The usage of photovoltaic panels and electric vehicles is common. == Examples == Ecodistricts can be found in metropolises such as : Stockholm (Hammarby Sjöstad) (Sweden) Hanover (Germany) Marseille (Euroméditerranée) (France) Bordeaux (Ginko) (France) Freiburg im Breisgau (Vauban, Freiburg) (Germany) Malmö (BO01) (Sweden) London (BedZED) (United Kingdom) Grenoble (De Bonne and Blanche Monier) (France) Dongtan (China) EVA Lanxmeer (Netherlands) Amsterdam-Noord (Netherlands) Jono district low-carbon project (Kitakyushu, Japan) Frequel-Fontarabie (Paris, France) Atlanta (Midtown, Atlanta Georgia) (United States) Energy Hub Project— Tweewaters Leuven (Belgium) Etna, PA named first ever US Ecodistrict in 2019 (Etna, Pennsylvania) == See also == == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/Fire Safety Codes]] - [[Urban and Planning/Master Planning]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 4 - Acoustics]] - [[History and Theory/World History]] - [[Research, Analysis & Citations]] - [[Urban and Planning/Housing]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Urban Planning and City Architecture]] - [[Interior Architecture/Renovation and Conservation]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 03 - Development Control Rules]] - [[Design/Architectural Design/Universal Design and Accessibility]]
