Connecting the City: People, Density & Infrastructure – Council on Tall Buildings & Urban Habitat (CTBUH)

October 30 - November 03, 2017
161 Sussex Street Sydney, Australia, 2000

The CTBUH 2017 Conference will thus be inquiring far beyond the tall building as icon, to debate a new set of guidelines and responsibilities toward skyscrapers becoming “connectors” in the city. The discussion will embrace every discipline, from urban planning to cost consulting, architectural design to vertical transportation, real estate development to curtain wall design. There is no better place for this discussion than Sydney; a city with a 230-year history in urban development that finds itself at the nexusof much of the current debate about cities: density vs. suburbanization; modernity vs. historical preservation; infrastructure vs. urban life; the high- vs. low-rise realms.
