Forward Thinking
As environmental awareness grows, so does the need for innovative engineering, economics, infrastructure, and legislation that protects our habitats. Cities of the Future and Urban River Restoration 2010 are designed to initiate dialogue on these topics, and to discuss realistic and affordable community projects. Taking place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, nestled among some of the top institutions and minds in the United States, these co-located conferences aim to be at the peak of the sustainability learning curve.
Urban River Restoration 2010 will focus on the role of revitalized urban rivers and waterfronts within the context of two major trends: an increased focus on sustainable practices to benefit the environment, and a population shift back to cities, which leads to a renewed emphasis on a livable urban environment.
Cities of the Future 2010 will bring together a diverse group of practitioners, researchers and policy-makers who share a vision of an improved urban landscape for future generations. The conference will host interdisciplinary discussions required to create sustainable urban infrastructure that will meet the challenges of the 21st century and the interdependent engineered and natural systems that will characterize Cities of the Future.
