Eco-Villages: Dream and Reality

Abstract

There is something new in the proposal for eco-villages (or, for that matter, econeighbourhoods), namely, they are eco villages (or neighbourhoods).1 The idea has emerged primarily because of our current concern with the ecological damage being done to the planet and our corresponding concern to construct environmentally sustainable ways of living. But there is also something old in the proposal; they are (eco) villages. And, in a world where people have come increasingly to inhabit large towns and cities, the question naturally arises: why propose villages? Why not towns, or cities, or metropolises?
