Conference programme

The four regular working days of the conference will be divided into three parts:

The mornings will be used for plenary sessions, with presentations and debate on different urban ecology issues by speakers from Eastern and Western Europe: Ekhart Hahn, Berlin, John Whitelegg from the UK, Adam Gula from Poland, Vida Ogorelec Wagner from Slovenia, Any Dobrinowa from Bulgaria, Jeppe Laessoe from Denmark, and others.

During the afternoons, the conferencees will participate in workshops, concentrating on issues like architecture, transportation, pollution, renewable energy, and local democracy. Each participant will work in one particular workshop for the whole week and, towards the end of the week will contribute to one of the visible results of the conference, an exhibition comprising a model and a poster from each workshop.

In the evenings, debates and presentations will be introduced by the conference participants themselves, and speakers will introduce issues of general interest, for instance: pro et contra the city as a sustainable entity.

Wednesday's program is an urban bicycle sightseeing to urban ecology projects in central Copenhagen.

On Sunday, the participants can visit eco-projects in the greater Copenhagen area - form an eco-village to inner city districts. A common denominator of the projects is their connection to the Danish Local Agenda 21 development.

Conference fee including meals and accommodation: 260 DM. CEE participants can apply for full reimbursement of travel expenses and conference fee, others for partial reimbursement of travel expenses.
