APRU Annual Report 2018

Expanding Impact in a Divided World

As Chair of APRU, I am delighted to introduce the Annual Report. The theme “Expanding Impact in a Divided World” stands as an objective of the Association as we act together to bridge many divides – disciplinary, cultural, national, and economic – in order to bring the benefits of knowledge and innovation to our societies and the region.

-Gene D. Block, Chair of APRU

The report highlights APRU SCL’s inaugural conference in 2017. APRU generates unique partnerships that cross-pollinates the knowledge and innovation of leading universities with international organizations, government, business and communities of interest around the Pacific Rim.

• The first APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference held in Portland, Oregon, September 15-17, 2017, brought together 120 researchers and practitioners, such as planners, architects, transportation specialists, and policy-makers from local government to international organizations. Ten working groups brought forward proposals and a multi-year program led by The University of Oregon was planned, including the production of research and policy papers.
