- Haifa, 2006 TOOLS & WORKSHOPS FOR NEW URBANISM IN ISRAEL Second Annual International Conference - November 29-December 1, 2006 |
|||||||||||||
|
MIU's second annual International conference
on New Urbanism in Israel invites participants from around the world
to partake in a series of lectures and workshops aimed to discuss
and apply New Urban principles in Israel. Following the success of
last year's conference, which introduced the public and professionals
to the core principles and goals of Urbanism in Israel, we ask the
question: How can we spring our philosophy into action?
Hosted in the beautiful port city of Haifa, the conference will introduce the latest urban planning tools that were created over the last year by leading professionals, members of the MIU organization. In a series of exciting planning workshops we will have teams working with Haifa residents, professionals, city & government representatives on several key areas in the City. |
