EUKN 2010 Conference: Effects of demographic change on urban structures - Budapest, 13-14 September 2010
Friday, 27 August 2010
The third annual EUKN conference will feed into the High-level Conference on demographic change which will be organised by the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union. EUKN's two- day conference will give an overview of the different forms of demographic change, from ageing to migration, and the effects of both shrinking and rapid growth on cities and urban regions. The conference brings together stakeholders, policy makers and experts (EU, national and regional) for an interactive exchange of strategies, experiences and hands-on knowledge. Interactive workshops and visits to projects in Budapest will give you a deeper insight in concrete instruments which might further strengthen the effectiveness of your own policy initiatives. The conference will also offer many informal opportunities for knowledge exchange and networking, including a boat tour with dinner on the Danube river.

THE INAUGURAL LEE KUAN YEW WORLD CITY PRIZE LAUREATE 2010
BILBAO CITY HALL
Cities are cradles of cultural, social and economic activity.
Today's cities face increasing pressures to adapt to changes due to increasing
density, expansion and fragmentation. One of the key challenges is how to
remain as attractive places where people will want to live, work and play in.
Bilbao City Hall has been named the inaugural Lee Kuan Yew
World City Prize Laureate in recognition of its integrated and holistic
approach in urban transformation. Bilbao City Hall has demonstrated that urban
regeneration can be a powerful social and economic driver to catalyse change,
strengthen the urban fabric, inject vibrancy and improve the quality of life for
its citizens.
