Eco-town project: IETC to organize a training programme on the
development of eco-towns in the Asia-Pacific region from 26 September
to 2 October 2006 in Kawasaki, Japan
As an integral part of its eco-town project, IETC, in partnership with the
City of Kawasaki and its supporting foundation - GEC, is
organizing a 10-day training programme on “Development of Eco-Towns in
the Asia Pacific Region” from 26 September to 2 October 2006.
The
objectives of the training programme are to understand the lessons
learnt in setting-up and operation of eco towns in Japan (specifically
the Kawasaki Eco-town), and to develop working strategies and
guidelines for the development of eco towns in the Asia-Pacific
region.
It will focus on lessons learnt from Japanese eco-towns that
will help develop step-by-step guidelines for local / national
governments in the Asia-Pacific region to set up eco-towns in their
countries.
It will also have interactive sessions to provide the
necessary 'workable strategies' and demonstration projects. |
