Why?
Against the background of globalization, China’s urbanization is faced with big challenges as well as great opportunities. Cities are, on one hand, a hotbed of various social problems and contradictions, and on the other hand, the hope where the nation’s revival lies in. The process of urbanization is both a course of living space transferring and particularly a course of urban culture development. How to preserve the urban historic and cultural heritage and the fine traditions during this process of globalization and fast urbanization; how to cultivate the required cultures for all kinds of ingenious industries, service trades and new industrialization; how to strengthen the cultural identification of a city, promote city competitiveness and improve people’s sensation of happiness during the process of culture transformation; how to push China forward on a road of conservation-minded urbanization by means of city planning in an era when city development is increasingly conditioned by resources and energy; etc. ---all those are the burning questions we are facing.
Therefore, the Ministry of Construction, P. R. China, the Ministry of Culture, P. R. China, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, P. R. China, together with other domestic and overseas government organizations, societies, and academic institutions in the same camp will hold the International Conference on Urban Culture and the 2nd International Forum on City Planning in June 2007, to scientifically use the experience of other countries for reference and work together to solve the problems that Chinese cities are faced with.
