Sustainable Pacific Rim Cities promotes equitable, environmental, institutional, and economic sustainability; facilitates sustainable knowledge-sharing; supports existing sustainability concepts and projects; and develops new sustainable theories, methods, and practices between and within the Pacific Rim Cities.

In addition to the well recognized and advanced Pacific Cities in East Asia, North America and Australasia, we are particularly interested in developing cities in Latin America and Asia – countries that are geographically on the Pacific Rim – but are rarely included in discussions of the region. We will explore the possibilities enabled by such new linkages across this more inclusive conception of the Pacific Rim.
