About the Competition

Green Easy is happy to announce its first competition! We want to engage our audience and provide you with a way to creatively express your thoughts about urban regeneration.

Think about a neighborhood and show us how you would address resilience, equity, and greenhouse gases contributing to climate change within your community. We encourage you to think about applying your solutions on a mastersite scale and to use the Ecodistricts Protocol as you sketch your solutions. In order to address these three crucial issues within our communities, we need you to think outside of the box. Looking forward to seeing your sketches!

ThinkTank Tuesdays

How can neighborhoods within cities implement urban agriculture to support the individuals within their communities? How can our reliance on locally grown food support our climate goals?

WatchOut Wednesdays

The focus of sustainable agriculture tends to be on rural areas and conventional solutions to development. As modernization engulfs both the developed and developing world, it is critical to address the importance of urban agriculture. Take a look at how food policy implemented on the city level are taking strides towards addressing urban agriculture.
