Climate Change and Urban Design
Science, Education Policy, Best Practice.
The Third International C.E.U. Congress - Oslo, Norway 14 -16 September 2008
Learn the latest developments on this urgent topic, and how they are likely to affect your work in the near future.
Join us in Oslo for an exceptional gathering of leading institutions, researchers and practitioners from around the world, representing 27 countries from every continent except Antarctica. The congress will discuss the rapidly-evolving topic of "Climate Change and Urban Design", and the latest implications for science, policy, education and best practice.
While our focus will be on European urbanism, we will examine international lessons and new collaborative opportunities to address this urgent challenge at a global scale.
What is the latest science telling us about the critical role of urban form and transport? What are the practical solutions available to reduce carbon emissions? What strategies are available to adapt to changing climates? What are the consequences for urban development internationally?
Who should attend?
The C.E.U. Congress will welcome government officials, planners, architects, social scientists, ecologists, developers, local community activists, and all other development stakeholders who feel a responsibility to contribute to more sustainable urban development.
