Conference Topics

A. Urban visions of sustainability
    This session will discuss urban visions, built
and un-built
    cities and transformative ideas for
the development of
    sustainable cities, including critiques
of model cities and
    communities built on visions of
sustainability.


B. The design of sustainable urban space
    This session will discuss the planning and
design of new
    urban space with regards to
sustainable development,
    including the critique of such spaces
as practiced.


C. Waterfronts and Coastal Developments
    This session will discuss sustainable
strategies for
    waterfront and coastal developments
in the light of global
    warming, as well as future urban
policies and projected
    development for flood defense,
water-management and urban
    delta development.

D. Urban technologies and sustainability 
     This
session will discuss both the hard and soft
     technologies that enable sustainable cities,
including
     infrastructure, tools and innovations related
to the design
     and
evaluation of sustainable cities, as well as policies,
     regulations,
economic instruments and strategies for
     management.

E. Sustainable mobility 
    This session will focus on sustainable
solutions for the
    increasing mobility demand in cities.
In this framework
    advanced systems for mass transportation will
be discussed
    as well as alternatives for the individual
mobility demand
    like hybrid and electric based transportation
systems and
   smart traffic systems. On the other hand, also
approaches to
   reduce the mobility demands by high density
developments and
   smart location choices will be investigated. 
 
F. Planning and new approaches to urban governance
    This session will discuss the following
questions: What new
    or enhanced forms of governance are needed to
support
    sustainable development? With an ever
expanding
    international environmental law and policy
making regime,
    how can local institutional machinery be
strengthened and
    better coordinated to achieve sustainability
goals? 
 
G. Creative cities and 'green economies' 
    This session will discuss social
sustainability and urban
    participation in the making of sustainable
cities, the
    revitalization of urban districts through
cultural
    regeneration and the infusion of creative
precincts, as well
    as people-centred sustainability initiatives
and public
    space. Also concepts and approaches for a new
(green)
    economy will be elaborated.

H. Social justice and sustainable society 
    This session aims to discuss the rationales
and local
    wisdoms, which enable the urban
communities to retain and to
    sustain their distinctiveness and to survive
many trials and
    tribulations, with special attention
is directed towards the
    informal or community sectors, urban
enclaves (which often
    mislabeled as slums or squatters),
traditional/historic
    urban cores, and rural-urban
exchanges. 

I. The Asian City 
   This session provides space for empirical
investigation of
   emergent urbanisms that may be deemed
sustainable in the
   Asian city, but also takes regional urban
diversity as a
   resource for wider theorization. 
 
 J. Design projects for the sustainable
city
    This session is different from the others. It
will not
    focus on the presentation of scientific
papers, but on the
    presentation and discussion of design
proposals for
    sustainable urban projects. In this
framework architects and
   urban designers, students and
professionals are asked to
   submit design
concepts that are able to contribute to a more
   sustainable urban environment, urban
economy and urban
  society. The projects will be assessed
and selected by a special jury.
