Shut your eyes and see. James Joyce
The Eco-Urbanites Symposium will explore city-life in Ireland and Japan within three themes.
Smart CitiesHow is a smart city managed in terms of its infrastructure, communication, energy management and sustainability? What are the new and emerging means of securing the growth of a city's services and businesses?
|
Liveable CitiesWhat is a liveable city? How can individual and collective well-being through citizens' lifespans be ensured and fostered? How to plan and manage relationships between the centre and the hinterland, downtown and the suburbs?
|
Inclusive CitiesHow can cities support social inclusion for diverse and ageing populations in social services, health, education? How do cities cater for the different needs of rapidly increasing populations in a way that fosters belonging?
