Second Symposium on social ecological urbanism
The 2nd Symposium of Socio-economic Urbanism was held on June 18th at Skaniasalen, Chalmers University of Technology. The sessions were well attended by more than 80 academics and researchers, but also practitioners from the private and public sector, urban designers, landscape designers, biologists, ecologists and others. The international speakers coming both from urban design and planning and from ecology and environmental medicine, solidified Socio-ecologic urbanism as a present scientific field and as a new paradigm for the future development of our cities globally; one that challenges the mainstream approaches of Smart growth and Compact cities and brings forward a new alternative.
