Sustainable Development of Cities Worldwide



The aim of the Shanghai World Expo Theme Forums is to give voice to people of outstanding talent in different areas of expertise from home and abroad, who will be encouraged to participate in in-depth discussions about the sustainable development of cities worldwide. The fruits of these talks are expected to be a range of feasible solutions that can be tested and applied to all kinds of urban development problems.

Theme Forum 4: Towards a Low-Carbon City: Environmental Protection and Urban Responsibilities



This forum covers a wide range of issues involving urban environmental systems as well as the utilization, protection and governance of the environment. These issues are to be discussed by the government, enterprises and urbanites from three different levels of responsibility, focusing on serious global and regional environmental problems involving climate change, desertification, water pollution, etc. The forum will deliver its own explanation to the three questions implied by World Expo based on the environmental perspective: That a more harmonious environment would make a better city; that a city actively coping with risks brought by various environmental changes would become better; that a resource-saving and environment-friendly urban development pattern would make our native earth better.
