eco city banja luka students from all over the world are helping make an ECO CITY in banja luka in bosnia. it is the start of something that will hopefully become more and more the norm this is the single biggest issue we have to deal with, where and how do people live please support this initiave

"eco city banja luka" could and indeed should become the most exciting global project for architecture, planning, design, art, ecology, life itself, an example of a new direction in a new age. if it gathers sufficient momentum, it will happen. its up to us to make that momentum

the worlds population is moving into the urban, sustainable city living is the problem we as designers must create the solutions for. This project is attempting to face this challenge.

Personally I think today’s architectural vision is lost, this is exactly the thing architecture and indeed the world needs.
Placing it in the Balkans is the most appropriate position for it due to recent wars.

ecotopia happened in Ireland last summer, hopefully it will happen in banja luka sometime soon, sustainable living can happen out in the woods but we have to make it happen in our urban world
