Green Cities, the largest green building conference in
Asia-Pacific,
comes to Sydney in 2012 to showcase the brightest
green
building professionals, experts and manufacturers for three
days
of green building conversation, innovation and collaboration.
In 2011, Green Cities has gotten its mojo back, so in 2012
the conference
will continue to challenge the green building status quo and
push
the industry towards better environmental, social and economic outcomes.

Operating since 1993, the mission of Sustainable Cities International
(SCI) is to catalyze
action on urban sustainability with cities
around the world. SCI is based in Vancouver, Canada.
It works by
connecting and mobilizing people through the process of
co-creating. SCI facilitates the thriving, international network of cities
that act as urban
laboratories: adopting, testing and improving on innovations.
