Pacific Rim Eco-Village Initiative
The Eco-Village Initiative collaborates with villages in East and Southeast Asia and Latin America that face social-environmental problems. SPRC brings resources to the villages to assist in the transformation to economic and environmentally sustainable communities.

Our first Pacific Rim Eco-Village Initiative project is with a small village in the hinterland of Shandong Province in China.  We will provide assistance to resolve water and soil pollution problems and to create a self-sustaining social - economic - ecological system.  For more information, please dowload the brochure and contact us at ecovillage at sustainablepacific dot org.

Urban Design and Planning for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities
The purpose of the program is to create a communication/ conversation platform between people with disabilities as well as the senior population and urban policy makers, planners and designers in the public and private sectors.

The key of the program is to help both sides understand the needs and difficulties of seniors and people with disabilities related to urban design and planning, that is, issues of urban accessibility and safety that they face in their daily lives, but which most planners, designers and policy makers do not see in their daily practice.  And at same time, the idea is to help seniors and people with disabilities to better understand the processes and practices of planning so that they are better empowered to represent their own interests effectively.

Our first step for the program is to organize a workshop as well as to seek partnerships with public, private and non-profit.  For more information, please download the brochure. If you are interested in participating in our program, please contact us at inclusiveplanning at sustainablepacific dot org.
