What can we learn from these experiences for ecological cities of the future?

What can we learn from these different experiences that will help us to build the ecological city of the future? First, there is currently no de finition ofwhat an ecological city would really be, so we need to agree on what we consider the important criteria for sustainability, and I would go for stakeholder planning to ensure that partners work together for the common future of the city. Stating that it requires an integrated approach is not enough, because this could mean integrating the analyses of the issue (looking at them inrelation to each other). An integrated approach to dealing with the issues can be chosen, and the activ- ities undertaken to solve the problems can be integrated.

Ecological cities are more than ecologically managed closed urban water systems. Sustainable urban water management is only the beginning. Changes in the behavior ofconsumers will be required, along with a combination ofbetter water management, collection and treatment ofsolid waste, and striving toward integration (Van Dijk and Oduro-Kwarteng 2007). Water demand management may be a good start at the household level, like separation at source and composting at home is a good start for ecologically friendly solid- waste management.
