Chinese

You are welcome to attend the conference from March 15th-19th, 2016 in Shenzhen - one of the most beautiful cities in China. The conference will provide you an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, to share experiences, to learn the most up to date’s research and development in green infrastructure, ecological restoration, sustainable development in urban environment and more. The conference will bring together stormwater professionals, landscape architects, designers, educators and planners fromChina as well from the world.

The Low Impact Development (LID) as a key element of green infrastructure has been used more and more worldwide for stormwater management. It has been integrated into China’sambitious Resilient City Construction Plan. In 2015 the Chinese centralgovernment started the Resilient City Construction Pilot Program in 16 cities. More than 86.5 billion RMB ($13.7 billion USD) have been located in these pilot cities for the stormwater management in the next 3 years. It is expected that more than 200 billion RMB per year will spend during the ChineseThirteenth Five-year Planning Period. The goal is to control 70% of stormwater annual runoff in 20% of already constructed urban area before year 2020, and to achieve 80% in year 2030. Therefore, green infrastructure will play very important role in the Construction of Resilient City. The conference will invite representatives from the 16 pilot cities to discuss opportunities and challenges. You will have chance to meet these representatives, managers, engineers, planners and landscape architect face to face. In addition to the conference there will be a workshop and graduate student forum to help young professionals entering green infrastructure practices and researches.

CONFERENCE AIM

The Low Impact Development (LID) is more and more globally used in current days and the Resilient City construction becomes a hot issue in China. In this context, the International Conference on Green Infrastructure and Resilient City will be held during March 15th-18th, 2016 in Shenzhen, to promote the research and application of green infrastructure, ecological restoration and sustainable living environment in Chinawith the approach of environmental engineering, urban and rural planning as well as landscape architecture.Parallel activities include: (1)Training course for practice of Green Infrastructure and construction for Resilient City; and (2) Doctor Students Colloquium on Aquatic Ecological Infrastructure and Resilient Development.
