An ecodistrict integrates sustainable development and social equity to reduce a district's ecological footprint. An EcoDistrict is a formal designation and framework for a new model of urban development empowering just, sustainable, and resilient neighborhoods through a community-led certification process.

The EcoDistrict framework guides communities to take a collaborative, holistic approach to develop and set achievable goals for prioritizing equity, resilience, and climate protection at the neighborhood level.

Lloyd EcoDistrict is the first certified EcoDistrict in Oregon and only the seventh globally.
