Cities of Tomorrow - Sustainability, Planning and Justice Today
10-12 June, 2009
The Cities of Tomorrow conference launched the formal opening of the PEC lab's activities. It was an interdisciplinary conference, focused on exposing and analyzing significant processes and events that influence the development of urban environments in the global era. The conference organized as a meeting point between the various actors that influence the planning and the design of cities of tomorrow: academicians, NGOs, official planners from the establishment, philanthropic foundations and private entrepreneurs. Two guest speakers, Prof. Peter Marcuse and Prof. Heather Campbell, along with an array of 30 local experts engaged an audience of 150 participants during two days of stimulating lectures, panels and small workshops, all designed to provoke new ways of thinking about how the cities we live in can transform into just and sustained cities.
