Auroville Green Practices Seminar 2013
In a 3-day program at Auroville more than 50 participants explored ways of realizing Eco-Productive Cities. Participants came from various professional backgrounds such as: urban planning, architecture, policy and consulting, agriculture etc. Presentations stimulated discussion and knowledge sharing among all participants. The workshops sessions at Eco-Productive cities were facilitated by senior experts in areas of urban ecology, urban planning, sanitation, sustainable water management, green architectures, urban agriculture and related areas.
