Sustainable Urban Areas

[i]International Conference[/i] 25- 28 June 2007 Rotterdam The conference will highlight the many aspects of housing and urban issues in relation to sustainability. Sustainability is a broad concept that can be addressed from many different angles. Attention to all approaches and their interrelationships is the key to a sustainable society. A common arrangement is to distinguish social, economic, spatial and environmental qualities relating to sustainability. In the conference these will all come to the fore. Plenary sessions with appealing keynote speakers will address current debates in housing like the future role of social housing and the pros and cons of the demolition of housing estates. In addition to these purely housing related topics, items related to sustainability will also be discussed, like transformation processes within the city and at the regional level. Plenary sessions will be organised around two keynote speakers concluding with a debate. 1 March 2007 [b]Deadline for submission of abstracts[/b] 1 May 2007 [b]Deadline for submission of full papers[/b] For more information: http://www.enhr2007rotterdam.nl/
