This paper reviews the experience of the EcCoWell concept which was developed by PASCAL in 2012 as an approach to holistic and integrated development of learning cities.

The conclusions and recommendations of the paper were approved by the PASCAL Board in November 2017 and are now serving as the basis for implementing EcCoWell 2 as a refinement of the EcCoWell concept relevant to progressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals in towns and cities.
