Conference on urban green spaces, Bulgaria
17 April 2008 - 17 April 2008
Bulgaria
A conference on 'urban green spaces - a key for sustainable cities' will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 17 and 18 April.
There is a growing recognition that urban green spaces play a key role for improving the quality of life in urban areas and are an important pillar of sustainable development. But is this importance reflected in an appropriate and stronger political and legal framework?
The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, young professionals and developers from Europe and elsewhere to reflect critically on relevant aspects for the future of cities and urban green spaces. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in study tours of Sofia's green spaces.
The event is organised by the EU-funded GreenKeys (Urban Green as a Key for Sustainable Cities) project.For more information, please visit:
