RILS and GDPMO Co-organise Webinar: Re-inventing Urban Space – From Green Deck to Elevated Cities

Event Abstract

It is well known that cities in many parts of the World, especially those in Asia are becoming increasingly crowded because of population increase. This is often accompanied by issues such as increased levels of air pollution, noise and traffic jams. Optimal use of the limited land and space resources to accommodate the ever increasing urban population while maintaining high-quality environment is a key to make the cities sustainable in a long term.

Proper use of green decks in some busy city areas may significantly enhance the living environment by reducing the noise and air pollution while offer more convenience to citizens living in the areas. The concepts of 3D cities, elevated cities, future proof cities and bridge cities are good examples how our future cities may become. We are very delighted to have four distinguished guest speakers from both the academia and the industry to offer their insights into these important concepts.
