As knowledge partner of the Hannover Messe, ISOCARP will again organize a Planner Workshop at Metropolitan Solutions – this year the partner of the Hannover Messe is The Netherlands. The ISOCARP Workshop will take place in Hannover, Germany, on 10 April 2014, starting at 9.30.
Sustainable urban development needs to be supported by innovative technical assistance.
ISOCARP has, in cooperation with companies such as Siemens, Philips and Fraunhofer Institute, and in the framework of several research projects, discussed the use of the technology to solve environmental problems in city-regions. In cooperation with multinational organisations, ISOCARP could gather essential experience in applying these technologies.
During an open workshop on “Metropolitan Solutions 2014”, ISOCARP intends to evaluate and discuss how urban technologies can help to address liveable cities and at the same time minimise environmental problems of cities and city-regions. The central aim is to identify good examples and potential alliances. The fair shall be profitable in establishing direct contact with developers, manufacturers and applications of urban technologies.
The starting point of the discussion of the workshop will be “selected ingredients of livable cities” defined at an Urban Planning Advisory Team (UPAT) partnered with the Philips Center for Health and Well-being in Singapore. See UPAT report “Livable cities in a rapidly urbanizing world” on the ISOCARP website.
