Overview:
     The Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Geological Survey, and the Joint Research Centre on Urban Geoenvironment & Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Education of China successfully initiated and organized the 2010 Forum on Urban Geoenvironment & Sustainable Development in Tongji University during the World Expo in Shanghai. Over 350 researchers and engineers from the fields of geology, water, construction, energy, railway, transportation and environment attended the Forum, exchanged their ideas and experiences, and upgraded their knowledge and capability for better urban geoenvironments.
      This year, the Organization Committee decided to hold "2012 Geological Environment and Sustainable Urban Development Forum" in Hong Kong. This 2012 Forum will also provide a platform to study and review Hong Kong urban development and preservation in the aspects of effective use of land resources, protection of geoenvironment, sustainable development, and building a greener and safer city. Meanwhile, different ideas and successful experiences from around the world will be exchanged through the Forum. Hong Kong and other cities can further preserve their geoenvironments and promote their sustainable developments.
