THE CONFERENCE
Organized by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers Civil Division, the conference will bring together leading experts from a wide range of disciplines to discuss infrastructure solutions and challenges in particular as related to climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation in the 21st century. The conference will provide a regional platform to explore practical technological solutions in the design, construction and operation of infrastructure. Key areas of the dialogue include technology solutions and new assessment strategies, industry sustained growth and identification of public and professional risk.

THEME
The goal of the conference is to highlight how engineers and the engineering profession, through scientific and technological advancements and the formulation of assessment tools, are advancing efforts to mitigate, adapt and build resilience to the effects of a changing climate, constraints of evolving financial times, and demands of public interests. The key focus is on infrastructure solutions that will sustain themselves far into the future, taking into consideration new risks and challenges.

Special focus will be on case studies for all infrastructure projects, including water, wastewater, transport, energy, solid waste, infrastructure planning, land use and zoning, construction technology and materials, emergency response and others.

Geographically the conference focus will be on solutions applicable to China and South-East Asia, while drawing heavily upon knowledge and expertise available globally.
