Symposium Theme

Many Asian cities have recently completed or are presently planning large-scale construction projects – “mega-projects” – that can serve as important case studies.

These projects, including new central business districts, government centers, rapid transit systems, science parks, convention centers, sports and recreational hubs, housing developments and preservation of historic districts may be seen in part as a means to better compete in the global economy

How have these projects addressed such issues as public space, innovative spatial patterns for economic growth, social and economic impacts, identity, sustainability, infrastructure, the planning/design process, and historic preservation? To promote a viable future for cities in Asia and beyond, it is critical to draw timely lessons from existing and emerging mega-project experiments.

This Symposium invites planners, architects, scholars, developers, government officials and others interested in this timely discussion to join us. Speakers, paper presenters, and other participants are encouraged to address Asian Mega-Projects under one of the following topics:
