Title of newsletter : Greenway Newsletter Published by : Greenway Year : 1996, Number : 28 2nd EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE CITIES & TOWNS(6-8 October 1996, Lisbon, Portugal) A working conference One of the objectives of the Lisbon Conference 1996 is to create an atmosphere which makes each participant feel willing to contribute with her or his specific knowledge, experience and solutions as well as questions and problems. The Conference is planned as an open forum: all actors at the local level will be encouraged to enrich the international discussion by bringing forward their ideas and experiences. Participants being experts in fields related to "sustainability" will be asked to prepare themselves beforehand and consider their possible input to the workshops. Workshops - the core of the Conference The focus of the Conference will be more than 20 workshops. Thanks to the large number of workshops the concept of a conference not only for but rather by the participants can be successfully achieved. The framework of the discussions will be provided by selected European cities and towns that will briefly present their experiences in implementing sustainability. After every series of workshops, feedback will be given to all participants in plenary meetings. Time and place The Second European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns will take place in the FIL Congress Centre in the City of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The Conference will be opened on Sunday, 6 October and concluded on Tuesday, 8 October 1996. A one day seminar on Portuguese Sustainable Cities & Towns will folow on Wednesday, 9 October 1996.
