November 2008
Towards the Megacities Solution
Event: Celebrating the tenth Lecture, the Dutch based Megacities Foundation organises an international congress on 27 and 28 November 2008.
A handful of Megacity regions in the advanced and advancing economies, as clusters of large and overlapping daily urban systems are the prime powerhouses and central nodes of the world network economy. These regions, from the US North East, the Euro delta in Europe (including the Randstad, Belgium’s large cities and the Ruhr Area) to the Pearl River Delta, face not only complicated economic challenges but also demographic and natural challenges that clearly demand strategic planning and development at the scale of the Megacity region.
The international congress will address these various challenges. How can planning at the scale of the Megacity cope with the challenges within, and tensions between, the realms of people, planet & profit? Is there potential for (more) synergy between these three realms at the Megacity scale, and how can planning help in realising this potential? These are the central questions to be addressed, whereby the perspective will move from profit to planet to people and finally food, as a topic of special interest in the present situation.
Presentations and panel discussions will be held by leading experts on urban planning, sustainable development and metropolitan and regional design amongst others:
Aaron Betsky, Adriaan Geuze, Joost Schrijnen, Edward Soja, Erik Swyngedouw, John Thackara
