Low-carbon Water Town · Intelligent Planning

The 3rd International Conference on Urban and Rural Development and Planning in Water Network Areas (2022)

Notice No. 1

The world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. Human survival and urban and rural development are faced with severe challenges such as resource shortage, climate change, environmental pollution and disease epidemics. To meet common challenges, "low-carbon" development has become an international consensus, and "intelligent" building has become an important approach to sustainable development.

From the perspective of the development process of urban and rural areas worldwide, the water network area makes use of unique natural ecological and human resources to create outstanding models of human-water harmonious development. From the concept of urban and rural planning to the technology and method of space construction, it contains rich ecological intelligence. Under the impact of rapid urbanization, water network areas are faced with practical problems in urban and rural development, such as ecological maintenance, cultural inheritance and landscape protection. How to inherit the traditional intelligence of water network areas, combine the "double carbon" goal, carry out planning and technological innovation, and achieve effective spatial governance has become an important topic that needs urgent discussion. To this end, Urban Planning Society of China and Suzhou University of Science and Technology will co-host the 3rd International Conference on Urban and Rural Development and Planning in Water Network Areas (2022). The conference aims at learning intelligent and inheriting culture from the traditional development of water network areas. Focusing on low-carbon development, it is designed for exploring planning and construction strategies for the integration of urban and rural planning and construction of urban and water. The conference has been selected into the "Guide for Important Academic Conferences (2022)" by China Association for Science and Technology.

Focusing on issues such as the relationship between the history and culture of urban and rural development and the current development in water network area, as well as the relationship between intelligent experience and low-carbon planning, the conference will build an academic platform for domestic and foreign scholars in the planning and related industries to carry out in-depth exchanges on issues related to urban and rural development and planning in water network area.

The host will invite well-known scholars from the United States, the Netherlands, Russia and China as special guests to give keynote speeches. We sincerely welcome prestigious experts, academics, representatives of government, enterprises and universities, who are related in these fields from all over the world to participate in the conference.
