New Metropolitan Synergies - Roundtable Kaohsiung

19-20 August 2010 Kaohsiung, Taiwan
The administrative environment in Taiwan is going through major transformations with the merging of cities and counties to give birth to metropolitan jurisdictions. These new territories are confronted with new development challenges: how to take advantage of the new structure and of the potential synergies of the larger urban region. Public policy-makers and private sector leaders are rethinking their strategies to find new forms of collaboration for more sustainable urban development.

The vibrant southern Taiwanese City of Kaohsiung, in collaboration with the National Chiao Tung University, invited INTA and its strategic partners, the Architectural Association of London, to organize a Roundtable discussion on New Metropolitan Synergies and the next generation of tools for metropolitan sustainability.
