Sustainable Urban China

Description

In 10 years' time over 900 Mio. Chinese will live in urban areas - 250 Mio. more than today. Issues such as air pollution, water and resource scarcity as well as the lack of public social services jeopardize cities as suitable places to live and work. Europe is internationally renowned as a forerunner in sustainable urban development with vast experience in the field, but at the same time still faces serious challenges that need to be addressed. The goal of the conference is to establish connections between local government representatives and the private sector from China, Germany and around the world to enhance their cooperation concerning sustainable urban development.
The Sustainable Urban China Conference is organized by ICLEI in cooperation with the GIZ (German Federal Enterprise for International Cooperation) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, and supported by HEXUN Consulting and other partners.
