Delivering Sustainable Futures

Chongqing June 24th – 26th 2010  

A conference hosted by COFTEC, developed to provide a platform to facilitate introductions for potential and existing clients and partners in Chongqing to provide a greater understanding of the aims and goals of China's sustainable cities agenda. Chongqing is uniquely placed to host this international conference which brings together high level speakers and international delegates to discuss the role of government, private business and civil society in delivering truly sustainable cities and stimulating commercial enterprise. Chongqing is the fastest growing urban centre in the world. It is the key city in China for sustainable development and for delivering the policies and projects which will create a balanced rural/urban society.

The UK has recognized the challenges and opportunities that are associated with the rapid economic growth which Chongqing has experienced over the past ten years and have signed many joint co-operation agreements, in particular the Sustainable Cities Agreement with Chongqing which is in line with Party Secretary Bo Xilai’s “Five Chongqing” initiative.
