The topic
Imagine cities where our current concepts of waste are thrown away, and
instead we envision a city’s waste as resource. In our world, where scarcity
and excess define the chasm between the haves and have-nots; exploring the
social, environmental and economic dimensions of waste will help us
understand more deeply how we manage our Earth’s resources and how we may
help to address the inequities intrinsic to this dichotomy. SCUPAD’s 2014
Congress will explore a paradigm shift where cities and regions can develop
new ways of managing the planet’s resources where the concept of harvesting
becomes the lifecycle of every element of our lives. Re-evaluating,
modifying, and altering chains of production and consumption are ways of
renewing connections to our places and to each other; and practical ways to
reduce and reuse waste should be integral parts of any city’s metabolism.
Although each city has its own DNA and thus may manage its resources and
waste in different ways, looking at a variety of successful methods that
some cities have adopted in the management of their waste streams may offer
templates for replication and adaptation. Expanding our understanding of the
generation of urban energies can help us realign our relationships with
natural systems. SCUPAD’s 2014 Congress will frame waste as a source of
creativity, equity, and sustainable development. Please join us as we
question, test, and explore ways we can adopt new policies, expand community
education, and share practices that inspire citizen engagement and culture
change. There is no time to waste.
The institution:
SCUPAD is an independent, non-profit international organization of planners,
whose members are based throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America
and recently from South America, India and Northern Africa. All SCUPAD
members are professionals working at a high level in their respective
organizations: planning and other government authorities, educational and
research institutions, private development and consultancy practices. With
its annual Congresses since 1965, SCUPAD presents topics for discussion of a
contemporary nature and of critical relevance to urban planning and
development. Unlike most other international conventions, SCUPAD developed
its characteristic style as a more personal exchange among experts,
engendering informality, international and transdisciplinary discourse and a
lively social and professional network that carries on beyond the
Congresses.
