Call for Proposals – 2018 Ontario Climate Symposium

Adaptive Urban Habitats by Design

2018 Ontario Climate Symposium hosted by the OCAD University – October 11^th and 12^th     

 

The Ontario Climate Consortium (OCC) and OCAD University are pleased to host the 6^th Ontario Climate Symposium: Adaptive  Urban Habitats by Design. This year’s Symposium aims to generate important discussions surrounding the role that art and design can play in developing adaptive, low carbon cities.  By exploring how ecology meets tactical urbanism, the Symposium will showcase real-life examples of how technology, policy, green infrastructure and strategic design can come together to transform cities.

We wish to encourage the development of positive, innovative, interdisciplinary visions that foster a transformative cultural shift toward low carbon communities, sustainable adaptation and the adoption of green infrastructure and design in urban cities.  We hope such visions will bring to life and highlight the interconnection of urban planning and development, urban ecology, landscape design, art and culture, land use policy, public health, climate change adaptation and mitigation.
