1st Announcement and Call for Abstracts
CABERNET 2005: The International Conference on Managing Urban Land
13-15 April 2005
Waterfront Hall Conference Centre, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK
Dear Colleagues
The International Conference on Managing Urban Land is presented by CABERNET
(www.cabernet.org.uk) and Laganside Corporation (www.laganside.com), in
association with University of Nottingham, UK and Umweltbundesamt (Federal
Environmental Agency), Germany. It will be held on 13-15 April 2005 at the
Belfast Waterfront Hall Conference Centre, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.
The challenges and opportunities faced by the multitude of stakeholders
involved in land management include: engaging communities, decreasing social
segregation and exclusion, re-using abandoned and derelict sites,
stimulating inner city investment, reducing land consumption rates, managing
the urban-rural fringe and the subsurface, preserving cultural heritage,
ensuring mobility transportation and traffic flow, and delivering high
quality urban living.
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we would like to invite you to
participate in the International Conference on Managing Urban Land. Below
are details on the Call for Abstracts and further conference information.
The best of the submitted papers will be peer reviewed and published in
Urban Land Management, a new journal focusing on land management and
regeneration issues.
The aim of the conference is to bring together the wide range of
professionals managing urban land to share good practice experience,
problem-solving knowledge, and the application of new techniques and tools.
The conference will highlight current thinking and future trends in
innovative land management and is intended to help inform current public and
private sector decision-making. The outcomes of the conference will
formally feed into a number of European research and policy initiatives.
Please see the conference website for further information and updates:
www.cabernet.org.uk/conference2005, alternatively please contact the
Organising Committee (see contact address below). We look forward to
receiving your abstracts and seeing you in Belfast next year!
