46th ISOCARP Congress Nairobi, Kenya
19-23 September 2010
Theme and Objectives
It is now widely accepted that the ongoing urbanisation process is unstoppable, irreversible, and is taking place largely in the developing world. Cities in the developing world, therefore, hold the key to sustainable development of our planet.
The Nairobi 2010 Congress of ISOCARP, focusing on the theme ‘Sustainable City/ Developing World’ takes its departure from the aforementioned premise. Planning strategies for sustainable development in cities of the global south will be discussed according to the type of intervention through which they can be best addressed, for example, urban policy and financing, urban form and design, urban planning instruments, and urban governance.
