Description

The 2011 ISOCARP (International Society of City and Regional Planners) Congress will explore different aspects of urban liveability vis-à-vis the challenges that cities and towns are faced with as the growing urbanisation continues to evolve.

[1]

Cities must provide distinctive and high quality places that can compete on a regional or global scale and, on the other, they must develop responsive solutions so that their effective functioning will be secured and the needs of their citizens satisfied. It is at this point that the question of urban liveability comes back to urban professionals, this time, however, in a different format and with many open questions yet to be answered.

This congress is aimed at contributing toward this task by looking for the appropriate responses and solutions that planners can build into their recommendations for urban areas at different scales and within different circumstances. The congress will also explore good Liveable cities practice from around the world on how urban liveability is being conceived, implemented and measured.

Main topics:

Implementing Low Carbon Urban Environment;
Building the Sustainable Network;
Transportation Networks: Making Sustainable Transportation A Reality;
Heritage and the Environment: Retro and Reuse in Transition.
