| Abstract |
Among U.S.-China EcoPartnerships, the PHL-TEDA EcoPartnership is unique in its design as an open platform to facilitate collaboration among businesses, local governments, universities and non-governmental organizations (NGO). On the U.S. side, the platform consists of China Partnership of Greater Philadelphia (CPGP, a 501c3 non-profit) and its public sector partner, the Commerce Department of the City of Philadelphia. The objective of this collaboration is to bring to scale sustainable-city-type BE Better technologies (built environment technologies that are more energy-efficient, smarter and healthier) in China and, by doing so, to promote sustainable economic development in the U.S. The mechanism for scaling these BE Better technologies is through China's national-level industrial parks. The initial stage focuses on China's northeastern Jing-Jin-Ji region (comprising Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province) through collaborations with Green Development League-member National Economic-Technological Development Zones (NETDZ) in Beijing, Tianjin and Langfang. The larger goal is to position for second-stage, nation-wide expansion of the BE Better model through the Green Development League's 36 member-NETDZs nationwide and through the Ministry of Commerce's national Eco Park program. |
