Developing Eco-Districts is designed to guide developers, municipalities, and communities across New Jersey in the creation of eco-districts, which are urban and semi-urban areas in which the goals of net-zero waste, water, and energy are achieved through holistic planning and development. Eco-districts have emerged in several European cities and in the western United States as a promising new model for meeting the critical and growing need for large-scale comprehensive sustainability. However, there is currently no model for achieving eco-districts in New Jersey, no is there a national standard for eco-districts. The intention of this handbook is to create awareness of the opportunities that an eco-district presents and to create a model for advancing these districts from conceptualization to implementation.
