Whole Life Urban Sustainability and its Assessment – Glasgow, 27-29 June 2007 27-06-2007 Introduction This international conference is themed “Sustainable Urban Development:
Meeting the Challenges of Whole Life Assessments”. The conference is organised
by SUE-MoT, a consortium of Dundee, Glasgow Caledonian, Loughborough and St
Andrews Universities.
Description
The importance of urban areas within the broader context of the
sustainability agenda can neither be over emphasised nor overlooked. The design,
scale, quality and distribution of the built environment are key determinants of
the well-being of these areas and the quality of life of their inhabitants. The
need for robust assessment mechanisms is especially important in the context of
sustainability, where inherent breadth and complexity requires consistent
protocols that will inform the decision-making process.
The organisers encourage submission of papers relating to the conference
theme, especially on and around the following areas:
The organisers invite all interested academics, researchers, built
environment professionals, tool developers, policy makers, and other
stakeholders who are involved in urban sustainability to attend the conference.
