About the event
Cities and metropolitan regions: development
strategies
Urbis 2003 |
Urbis represents an unprecedented opportunity for the
debate and exchange of experiences on municipal management. More than 30,000
people participated in Urbis 2002 and 2003. In 2004, we count on your participation.
Cities are now recognized as partners in the challenge of facing the problems
impacting the whole planet.
The main theme of Urbis 2004 is centered around the relationship between
major metropolitan regions of the world and development strategies at regional,
national and global levels. The development issue regains its undeniable
role in international fora. At Urbis 2004, its discussion takes on a particular
significance because of the UNCTAD XI Conference, to be held in conjunction
with Urbis, with a focus on economic development and its several implications,
particularly for poor countries.
In 2004, Urbis will count on the presence of municipal and metropolitan
administrators, universities, NGOs and experts from Brazil and abroad, presenting
and discussing the most advanced public policies in urban management. Development
is the greatest challenge in this millennium, and the cities offer their
invaluable contribution for the construction of a planet with more justice
and solidarity.
