3rd International Urban Design Conference

The 3rd International Urban Design Conference is being held from August 30 to September 1, 2010, at the National Convention Centre, Canberra.

'Designs On Our Future' will be the theme in 2010. Australia’s population is projected to increase by 60 per cent in the next 40 years - what impact will this have on our existing cities?

The conference will examine how our new cities are conceived and our existing ones are adapted, re-designed and managed.

The program will feature international and national keynote presenters. Three concurrent sessions being held in the conference program will offer participants the opportunity to present latest research and topics of interest.

The conference will focus on a variety of themes and topics:

- the future of public spaces
- demographic change
- housing diversity and affordability
- settlement patterns
- infrastructure and sustainability in the 'new' Australia
- transport system requirements
- energy efficient building design
- effective governance and leadership
- sustainable higher density development
- renewable development
