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.



Songdo International Business District is being developed on 1,500 acres
of reclaimed land in South Korea along Incheon's waterfront, 40 miles
from Seoul and just 7 miles from Incheon International Airport.
Developed by Gale International and Korea's POSCO E&C, this metropolis
is the model of sustainable, city scaled development and urban innovation.

The first phase of the new international city has opened in August 2009.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, an international architectural practice
recognized for design excellence and innovation in their buildings
throughout the world, the 100 million square foot master plan includes
office space, residences, retail shops, hotels as well as civic and cultural facilities.





Songdo International Business District (IBD) officially opened on August 7,
2009 as designated Free Economic Zone and the first new sustainable
city in the world designed to be an international business district.
With its strategic location just 15 minutes driving time from Incheon
International Airport and 3 ½ hours flying time to 1/3 of the world's
population and regional markets such as China, Russia and Japan, Songdo
IBD will position South Korea as the commercial epicenter of Northeast Asia.
