2nd International Urban Design Conference

Gold Coast

20092nd to 4th of September

survival: implementing tomorrow’s cityour cities are facing far greater challenges in this era

of failing global markets, climate change, peak oil,

unprecedented population and urban growth in the face

of diminishing natural habitats. We’ve identified these

threats and risks, but how are we to implement

a successful blueprint for tomorrow’s sustainable city?

2nd International Urban Design Conference Gold Coast Australia 2-4 September 2009

The conference will identify and address ways to implement

best practice sustainable actions and showcase exemplar

projects for leaders, designers and communities to understand

the complex issues involved and how to apply these to meet

individual urban design challenges.

Our cities are where we live, work and play. There is now

a sense of urgency to put into place the measures that will

ensure a sustainable and responsible future for our living

environment – survival measures for our cities and our future

generations.

What adds a further edge to these challenges is the world’s

financial difficulties. Should sustainability goals and objectives

be deferred or are there unique opportunities when financial

markets are less vigorous? There will always be excuses for

putting off difficult decisions.

• Day one of this three day conference will commence with

a galaxy of renown international keynote speakers who

will address vital issues, emphasising how they are actively

implementing sustainable practices to meet the global

challenges.

• Day two will showcase a diverse range of presentations by

national and local professionals spread over three streams

which will cover best practices examples and models that will

inspire and give us the impetus for implementing sustainable

cities.

• Day three will commence with a lively discussion forum

headed by a panel of keynote speakers, who will debate

particular subjects raised during the conference. This will

be followed by more presentations by our eminent keynote

speakers.

This conference will be attended by:• Policy makers

• Politicians• Senior public servants• City Governance personnel• Development Industry• Design professionals• Architects

• Landscape Architects

• Engineers

• Town Planners

• Urban Designers

• Consultants

• Social planners... and those in the community who are keen
