International Conference on Urban Sustainability and Resilience

1st International Conference on Urban Sustainability and Resilience
5th to 6th November 2012 (extra optional day included 7th November)
London, United Kingdom


Engineers, policy makers, designers and planners are some of the key professions shaping the future of the urban world. The decisions they make today will often affect many generations to come. As such it is essential that their decision be backed by knowledge which is both scientifically sound and also fully aware of the human factors inherent in urban issues.

The first international conference on Urban Sustainability and Resilience will bring together world experts from across a wide range of engineering, science and social science disciplines with three main objectives:

- Bring together a strong research community committed to address some of the most pressing issues that human societies have ever faced
- Take stock of the current state of knowledge in the field of urban sustainability and resilience
- Put forward a coherent future research agenda in the field.

The central themes of the conference will be:
- Facets of urban resilience
- Integrating and engineering sustainable and resilient urban systems
- Feeding the city
- Towards a low-carbon urban environment
