This event brings together a number of the key themes and aspects of sustainable development and sustainable communities theory and practice. It provides the context for policy and practice, presents the major challenges, and offers in depth insights into a selection of applications. The event does offer an opportunity for discussion and for delegates to contribute from their experience.
