Eco-Productive Cities
A three-day conference

Auroville Green Practices, a part of Auroville, an international township in South India globally recognized for its efforts in sustainability, is organizing its annual conference and this year the theme is Eco-Productive Cities.

Some of the key environmental and social challenges are associated with resource and waste management. Urban centers generate immense waste streams which when badly managed, contribute to pollution and climate change. Utilizing this waste output efficiently, as raw material, has the potential to transform human habitats into eco-productive land- and city-scapes providing an increased quality of life for its residents.
