China Europa, furthering tomorrow's sustainable cities
In 2100, 80% of the world's population will live in urban
centres. With these emerging global problems in mind, China Europa is working
to promote harmonious urban development which respects people and their
environment.
Key players in Sustainable Urban Development will be gathering
to exchange ideas and debate practical, implementable solutions to
environmental problems linked to urban population growth. Scientists,
economists, communicators, architects and town planners will contribute their
expertise on issues such as climate change, circular economy (eco-towns),
mobility of goods and people, CO2 emissions, energy efficiency and
eco-materials.
A high point will be the architects' debate, bringing together
names including Paul Andreu, Jean-Marie Charpentier, Rem Koolhaas and Adolpho
Rodrigues.
The following have confirmed their attendance at the opening
lecture on 8 December 2009:
- Mme. Christine Lagarde, French Minister of Economy, Industry and
Employment,
- Mr. Chen Deming, Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China
- Ambassador Serge Abou, head of the European Union delegation in Beijing
- M. Patrick Devedjian, Minister in charge of the French government's
