An ecodistrict or eco-district (from "ecological" and "district") is a neighborhood, urban area, or region whose urban planning aims to integrate objectives of sustainable development and social equity, and to reduce the district's ecological footprint. The notion of an "ecodistrict" insists on the consideration of all environmental issues, via a collaborative process.
