Up Close and Liveable (2018)
Urban ConferenceA global review on urban strategies
We believe an international exchange contributes to the development of new strategies and solutions which improve the quality of life in urban environments.
Up Close and Liveable is the global review of urban strategies. Urban professionals from cities like Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Helsinki, London, Paris, Portland, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Vancouver come together to focus on the issues we face in cities like:
How do we make cities compact? Sustainable? Accessible? Green and blue? Mixed? Inclusive?
This conference is for urban professionals, decision-makers, civil servants and anybody who has an interest in strategies that make cities better and more liveable, loveable and likeable.
