CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT / SAVE THE DATE!
The 4th annual APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Conference 2020, originally planned to be held at The University of Auckland in Auckland, New Zealand will now be held as a virtual event in December 14-18th, 2020. The conference will be held at times that suit all regions of the Pacific Rim. Due to the evolution of the COVID-19 globally and the uncertainties around international travels, the 2020 Conference has been postponed.
An exciting addition to the conference this year is the Ph.D. Student Symposium organised in collaboration with the Future Cities Research Hub of the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland. Accepted Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to attend the whole conference and join a Working Group based on their research focus and interest.
The 2020 Conference includes two new Working Groups:
Children, Youth and Environments
Indigenous Knowledge and Wisdom
Working Groups and plenary sessions will address alignment of topics with the Sustainable Development Goals and with COVID-19.
We encourage you to save the following dates and more details will be released soon.
Conference Registration opens July 20th.
Expressions of Interest to join a Working Group opens August 31, 2020.
