Designing a green city
on a blue lake

This is the archive website of EcoCity Cleveland. It has a lot of great information, but, since March 2006, all of our new work online has taken place on GreenCityBlueLake, the interactive web workspace for sustainability in Northeast Ohio. Check it out!

EcoCity Cleveland is the nonprofit organization that helps people live in greater balance with nature in Northeast Ohio.

In the cities, we promote environmentally friendly redevelopment that improves quality of life and makes cities more sustainable. In the country, we promote sensitive development that preserves open space and the ecological integrity of land and water. Balancing city and country, we work on land-use planning and transportation policy issues to promote a smarter balance of growth in the metropolitan area, helping citizens and elected officials adopt a more thoughtful, regional perspective — a "bioregional" perspective that transcends the political fragmentation of Northeast Ohio.

Our publications win national awards. Our ideas are changing the landscape of Northeast Ohio.

Join us and participate in the creation of more sustainable future!

Our big merger: In July 2007, EcoCity Cleveland announced that it was merging with The Cleveland Museum of Natural History to create a new Center for Regional Sustainability. This is a fantastic opportunity to align the resources of two strong and respected organizations and accelerate the transformation of Northeast Ohio toward greater sustainability.

Organizationally, the merger makes perfect sense. EcoCity Cleveland's work will gain a more secure organizational home with the prestige and administrative support of a world-class institution. The Museum will gain expertise about the design of ecological cities that will help it engage the public about how human beings can live sustainably on Earth in the 21st century. And Northeast Ohio will gain a prominent center of sustainability thought and practice that will help make the region more competitive.

For more on the merger:

We encourage all EcoCity Cleveland friends to continue supporting our work for ecological cities by supporting our new Center for Regional Sustainability at the Natural History Museum. Donations to the Museum can be earmarked for the center.

Thanks!
