Description

The theme of the 47th Congress is: "Liveable Cities - Urbanising World, Meeting the Challenge". This theme reflects the central problem of the acknowledged world wide phenomena of the exponential and inexorable inward flow of people to cities and the consequent rapid expansion of urban development. The city of Wuhan, with its ever increasing population base, has acknowledged the importance of this Congress Theme especially with regard to learning how their particular range of urban, transportation congestion and spatial problems are being dealt with sustainably across the Globe. The Congress will support four workshops exploring the major theme in terms of low carbon environments, sustainable networks, all transportation pathways including waterways, recreational provisions, Heritage and the Green Environment. The Congress will take place in the late autumn 2011 with registration taking place on the 24th October. The actual Congress dates will be from the 25th to the 28th October inclusive. The City is also assembling an attractive series of possible post Congress tours details of which will be made available in due course.
