  • WEF to Present Cities of the Future 2010, Urban River Restoration 2010

    Conferences aim to be at the peak of the sustainability learning curve
    January 25, 2010

    The Water Environment Federation (WEF) will present Cities of the Future 2010 and Urban River Restoration 2010 from March 7 to 10, 2010 at the Boston Marriott Cambridge in Boston. The two conferences will be co-located to allow opportunities for interdisciplinary networking and discussion on urban and sustainable technologies.

    Cities of the Future 2010 and Urban River Restoration 2010 are designed to initiate dialogue about innovative engineering, economics, infrastructure and legislation that protects habitats, and to discuss realistic and affordable community projects. Taking place in Cambridge, Mass., both conferences aim to be at the peak of the sustainability learning curve.

    Cities of the Future 2010 aims to bring together a diverse group of practitioners, researchers and policymakers who share a vision of an improved urban landscape for future generations. The conference will host interdisciplinary discussion required to create sustainable urban infrastructure that will meet the challenges of the 21st century and the interdependent engineered and natural systems that will characterize Cities of the Future.

    Urban River Restoration 2010 will focus on the role of revitalized urban rivers and waterfronts within the context of two major trends: an increased focus on sustainable practices to benefit the environment, and a population shift back to cities, which leads to a renewed emphasis on a livable urban environment.

    Those encouraged to attend include urban planners and developers, public works directors, architects, city managers, public officials, economists, political scientists, transportation engineers, urban ecologists, scientists, sociologists and landscape engineers.

    Both conferences are held in cooperation with the New England Water Environment Assn., the Water Environment Research Foundation, the Environmental & Water Resources Institute, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission and the American Planning Assn. − Massachusetts Chapter. Cities of the Future 2010 is organized jointly with the International Water Assn., and is also supported by the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Assn. Urban River Restoration 2010 is also supported by American Rivers.
