Topics at ASCE’s India Conference on Urbanization Challenges in Emerging Economies cover a broad array of infrastructure challenges being faced due to the urban explosion of major metropolitan areas.
Professionals from all over the world involved in meeting these challenges and developing and moving towards resilient sustainable cities and infrastructure in emerging economies will find this conference a home to conduct policy, technical, and scientific discussions and exchanges.
The conference will feature keynote addresses by prominent government and industry leaders in infrastructure development. Papers at the conference will be divided into seven major tracks, namely:
Planning and financing to meet the growing demand
Transportation around and beneath existing cities
Environment infrastructure needed to meet the demands of exploding population in urban areas
Water and energy infrastructure needed to meet the demands of exploding population in urban areas
Materials and tools for resilience and sustainability of infrastructure in a changing environment
Resilient buildings and infrastructure
Emerging paradigms for sustainable urban communities
In addition, three workshops and two training webinars related to the theme of the conference will be conducted on the first day of the conference.
Two of the workshops are being held in association with Indian Geotechnical Society.
