2017 APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference

The inaugural APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference was hosted by the University of Oregon (UO), in the White Stag Building in Portland, Oregon, from September 15-17, 2017. The purpose of this conference, aligning with the goals of APRU SCL, was to provide opportunities for experts from different regions, cultures, and disciplines to collaborate on local and global challenges across the Pacific Rim, which will lead to transformative on-the-ground changes between cities and their surrounding landscapes. We encouraged the participants not only engage in knowledge creation and education, but serve as problem-solvers, innovators, connectors, and agents of change.
