Title Sustainable Community Development in China: Principles, Challenges and Implementation Day / Time Wednesday, June 21st / 13:30 - 15:30 Room MR01 Event Description This event is an opportunity to share experiences in applying Canadian sustainable community design principles to China’s rapidly urbanizing regions. This session will begin with a panel format presentation of these principles and how they relate to a demonstration community master-planning project in Nan Hui, a Shanghai suburb. The panel will focus on a “best of both worlds” approach, in the context of China’s current development practice and market economy. Issues involved, questions raised, challenges, successes, and lessons learned are applicable to implementing new, healthy, sustainable communities anywhere. A workshop will follow, encouraging participants to respond to a series of questions on incorporating sustainable design principles into a practical and effective Corporate Sustainability Standard for the Chinese development companies involved in Nan Hui and much larger projects. Participants will be invited to join an ongoing internet-based exploration of the topic.
