Given the fact that more than half the world lives in cities and that climate change is precipitous, planning and building sustainable cities is an urgent matter. EcoEDGE2 is the 6th in a series of conferences hosted by the city of Melbourne, Australia from February 14-16, 2008. Architects, urban designers and planners and landscape architects will participate in EcoEDGE2 to discuss GREEN urbanism, GREEN buildings and GREEN housing. The list of participants reads like a cast of stars. It includes Anna Tibaijuka – UN Habitat, Kenya, Michaela Brüel – European Green Cities Network, Denmark, Santha Sheela Nair – Department of Drinking Water Supply, (DDWS) India, Neville Mars – Architect, Amsterdam and Beijing, Bernard Khoury – Architect, Beirut, Gerard Evenden – Foster + Partners, Architects, UK.
