SUSTAINABLE
SOLUTIONS FROM CHINA, THE UK AND BEYOND
 The
inaugural FT Urban Development Summit, organised in
partnership with the UK Programme of Events at Shanghai World
Expo 2010, will bring together municipal leaders, urban
planners, designers and investors to discuss the most effective
and sustainable solutions to the massive challenges of
urbanisation.
Building
on the FT's successful series of Urban Regeneration Summits, the
Urban Development Summit will showcase best practice and the
sharing of expertise by urban planners in the UK, China and
beyond across a range of key topics including renewal of
industrial cities, creation of knowledge hubs, energy
efficiency, and innovation in financing. The conference will
also feature an exclusive panel of UK and Chinese mayors, and
the announcement of the results of a unique UK-China government
dialogue on sustainable urban development.
How
would the UK's model of urban regeneration be adapted to cities
in China, and what would Chinese planners do to avoid some of
the failures in social regeneration that still affect British
cities? What are the key steps that planners need to take to
move cities from the industrial sector to the knowledge sector?
How can the concept of energy-efficient eco-cities be adapted to
existing, older urban areas? What regulatory frameworks and
incentives have to be established to attract sufficient levels
of investment from the private sector?

this exclusive gathering of senior public and private sector
decision-makers.
