Earth Day is over but don't stop the green dialogue. Create a green group! The Smart+Connected Communities Institute launched group technology for our community members to create a green/sustainability social website for free right here.
The benefit of creating a smart growth group here through the Smart+Connected Communities Institute is you are already connected with hundreds of global practitioners, citizens, subject matter experts and thought leaders.
So a little about groups...you can call them groups, a collaboration space, a workspace or you can call them a social website. It really depends upon your purpose and needs. The group technology on our platform includes all the collaborative tools- blogs, wikis, document and video libraries and discussion forums. It includes templates for you to to design your website as needed by your group.

Group Ideas
Groups can be used by your organization, citizens, teams, etc. for a private or public collaboration and meeting space.
- Post Event Follow-up - create a collaboration group after an event to continue the dialogue
- Local or Regional - talk about unique smart, green city initiatives in your local area.
- Team Project - use the the group with your colleagues or a team as a private work space to share resources, collaborate on documents.
- Industry/Vertical City Topics - transportation, education, clean air, clean water, energy consumption, invite the world or your local area to discuss hot green smart growth topics.
- Citizen Engagement - create a group to discuss city concerns, needs and successes.
- Job Title - create a collaboration group with others in your fields.
Let me know if you have any questions. We are excited about providing this tool for you and hope you see the benefit of having a collaborative space.
