The First International Conference of IASUR

The First International Conference of IASUR
Theme: “Sustainable Society as Our Challenge”

Following the Agenda of the International Workshop in December 2012 at The University of Tokyo, Japan, e are going to establish an international alliance in order to form an international and interdisciplinary network connecting niversities and research institutions toward a solution to sustainable urbanization and regeneration based on the accumulated education and research achievements and experiences of universities in Asia and other regions.
This international conference that is going to be initiatively organized by the Organizing Committee for International Alliance for Sustainable Urbanization and Regeneration (IASUR) will be a memorable event to the launch of the new alliance as well as a remarkable opportunity to exchange the up-dated information and ideas.

The main theme of this conference is "Sustainable Society as Our Challenge".
We have to steer the directionality for sustainable urban regeneration or urbanization so that it is repositioned within the scope of, and the capacity for, urban and regional sustainability through a process of continuous international collaboration. We have great expectations that this new alliance will make a significant contribution in further developing and raising the academic status of research and education for the future of Asian cities and regions.
