Focus
The conference will focus on green urbanisation. Urbanisation is meant in a wide perspective. "Green" relates to the consequences for construction organisation and economy, from ongoing development, as well as the industry's ambitions for the future. We encourage discussion of current trends in a multidiscipline perspective, including a social, environmental, economic, organisational and technological perspective.
