We are pleased to announce the call-for-paper for the "3rd Great Asian
Street Symposium (GASS3)", which is to be held in National University of
Singapore, 6-7 December 2004. Please find the details of GASS3 through

The GASS was established in 2001. As a discussion platform, it aims for
the urban researchers and professionals committed to the study of
streets and public spaces in Asian region. The success of the 2nd GASS
in 2002 brought in significant number of diverse participants and high
quality papers. It makes us feel that there is a potential for GASS to
be further developed as an Asian forum for urban scholars and
practitioners, where the term "Great Asian Street" becomes a metaphor of
public space, public sphere and public forum of Asian cities.
For the coming GASS 3 in 2004, the research on "street" is still very
much emphasized, we would like to extend the theme to "Street, Urban
Space and Representation" as the special topic of the 3rd GASS in 2004.
Beside the existing focus on Asian streets, we create one more session
on urban space and representation for this particular year. The
representations of street, urban space and city cover varieties of
traditional and new approaches, which are essential to the practices and
researches in architecture, urban design and city planning. It is
especially interesting to see how emerging technologies influence the
way we observe, analyze and design the city and physical environment.
The invited keynote speaker of GASS3 is Professor Michael Batty,
Director of Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), University
College London (UCL).
We look forward to your participation and invite you to submit an
abstract (max 500 words) of a proposed paper by August 20 of 2004.
Best regards
Dr Perry YANG
