green growth and urbanism
Ce plan ne concerne pas seulement les métiers les plus fortement impactés par la croissance verte, mais également d’autres métiers comme les emplois administratifs dans les entreprises du domaine de l'environnement, les métiers de l'environnement dans des entreprises ne relevant pas du secteur de l'environnement, les métiers qui concourent directement ou indirectement à la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. L’essentiel des métiers concernés par la croissance verte correspondent à des emplois existants pour lesquels des adaptations sont nécessaires notamment en termes de formation.

eco-neighbo[u]rhood
Gets plenty of ghits. Eco district is also a possibility. Nothing wrong with "green neighborhood" above, either, although I got a few more hits for eco.

ecolocically-friendly urban community
BedZED, or the Beddington Zero Energy Development, is Britain’s largest carbon-neutral ecolocically friendly community. It is located in Beddington, a community in the London borough of Sutton. Developers of the project include the Peabody Trust (one of London’s largest and oldest housing associations), BioRegional Development Group (a sustainable consulting firm), Bill Dunster Architects, and Arup. The stated goal of the project is the desire to “create a ‘net-zero fossil energy development’, one that will produce at least as much energy from renewable sources as it consumes.”

Green neighborhood
I would keep it simple and call it a "green neighborhood"; "How to build (or design) a green neighborhood; Kashew's answer is not bad (except for the typo in Ecologically); but a community is bigger than a "quartier".
Example sentence:
Energy efficient and environmentally-friendly homes have been around for years. But now New Hampshire’s first green neighborhood is growing in Peterborough.
