Qatar Future Landscape and Public Realm

FUTURE LANDSCAPE & PUBLIC REALM QATAR
As Qatar is going through a period of extensive and rapid development to ready itself for the FIFA 2022 World Cup and to achieve the ambitious goals set out in the National Vision 2030, the design, construction and supply of appealing outdoor spaces has become ever more important.
Future Landscape & Public Ream Qatar – powered by Project Qatar - provides an excellent opportunity for landscaping and exterior design professionals, urban planners and high-level decision makers to gather together to discuss the latest trends, key challenges, ongoing projects and upcoming opportunities in Qatar’s landscaping and outdoor design industry.

International Conference on “Responsive Urbanism in Informal Areas”

The Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University (CUFE), jointly with the UN-Habitat are organizing an

International Conference on “Responsive Urbanism in Informal Areas”, to be held during November 2014 in Cairo. This conference will also feed in the preparation of the National Urban Forum in 2015, and the HABITAT III in 2016. The HABITAT III is the third UN conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development planned with an agenda for the Arab Region. The conference is also a collaborative effort within the activities of the “Informal Urbanism Hub” of the HABITAT University Network Initiative (UNI). The activities of this (UN) Hub started in November 2013 with the academic symposium entitled “Metropolis Non-formal – Anticipation”, held in Munich, Germany. UNI Hub seeks to reduce the gap between academia and practice, and to strengthen the ties among all involved stakeholders to face the future challenges in cities, and particularly in informal areas.
