SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS – INNOVATIVE ECONOMICS FOR PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF GREEN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS
June 16 – 20, 2014
Shanghai and Ningbo, China
With nearly 24 million people, Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world. As a hub of rapid technological and economic development, it has become a center of international trade, political power and financial expertise. It is crucial to ensure that the ongoing economic and infrastructural growth in Shanghai continues in a sustainable environment.
From June 16-20, 2014, the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Office of Sustainability led a Business Delegation and Workshop in the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Ningbo. The Delegation showcased unique business assets and built mutually beneficial relationships for attendees. The Workshop program integrated the principles of the Chinese government 12th Five-Year Plan, and the newly released March 2014 National Plan which focuses heavily on environmental protection and sustainable energy consumption. By incorporating the government’s 12th Plan, this Workshop provided a platform for businesses to highlight innovative solutions in their products, parts, technology and services. At the Workshop there were a forum to share best practices and provide access to modern and authoritative knowledge from the industrial and academic sectors in the planning, designing, and creating of sustainable urban environments.
Business, government, academic and industry leaders from China and the U.S. were invited to participate in the week-long event, which included business-to-business meetings and matching-making events, keynote presentations and business site visits in both cities. The Workshop created an environment in which businesses, government officials, scientists, engineers and decision-makers can come together to exchange and share their experiences, present research results, explore collaborations and inspire new ideas. The Workshop highlighted new technology and established platforms for collaborative research projects in a variety of fields within the sustainability sector including manufacturing, transportation, energy, water, urban planning, architecture, engineering, materials and natural resources.
Business and industry-related site tours were an important element of the program. Throughout the week, participants had the opportunity to visit two Chinese cities, Shanghai and Ningbo, to see industrial innovation in action and tour historical sites.
