Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat – Conference

The cities of China’s Pearl River Delta, which surpassed Tokyo as the world’s largest single continual urban conurbation of 42 million in 2010, and is set to grow to potentially 120 million inhabitants by 2050. The results of the rapid and unprecedented urbanization in this region has produced an entirely new urban substance, one that has provided an unequalled opportunity to explore the impacts of tall buildings set within a network of ultra-connected, modern infrastructure.

In many ways – physically, culturally, and economically – these teeming metropolises are merging into, one super-connected urban whole. The event will take place progressively across the three cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. In addition to absorbing the very latest in best practice developments in both skyscraper and urban design from around the world, this conference will directly embrace numerous tall buildings and urban spaces in the region that have become iconic in their own right, through technical tours and social networking events.

Date: From October 16, to October 21, 2016
