Megacities Lecture – The Hague, 7 December 2006 07-12-2006 Introduction The Megacities Foundation in cooperation with the Nicis Institute presents
the ninth Megacities Lecture. The lecture and discussions will focus on
“Infrastructure: The Glue Of Megacities”. The lecturer is Professor Kingsley E.
Haynes, Dean, School of Public Policy, George Mason University, Fairfax,
Virginia.
Description
The Megacities Initiative originates from the awareness of the future role of
cities as the dominant type of settlement for humanity. Cities will play this
role not only as a matter of fact but also as a matter of necessity, as the only
other way of housing the increasing world population. In an intensive rural
occupation pattern this would certainly lead to an ecological disaster.
The main activity of the Megacities Foundation is to organize a yearly
lecture on topics related to the megacities. In the past lectures were given by
Lars Lerup, Richard Sennett, Liu Tai Ker, Richard Rogers, David Harvey, Deyan
Sudjic, Saskia Sassen and Peter Hall.
Programme Location
The Hague, the Netherlands
