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, and heavily emphasizes a collaborative process.
In order to design ecodistricts, one needs to completely redesign their energy system plans. The usage of photovoltaic panels and electric vehicles is common.
