“Shaping the City : A Forum for Sustainable Cities and Communities” includes all participating architectural schools and universities from across the globe from the ECC’s current TIME SPACE EXISTENCE exhibition, along with other international institutions and architecture studios. The conference is to be held over 2 days on the 12th and 13th of October 2018 with a lineup of speakers, panels, from the different participants and guests.

A place where city changers meet and network with other passionate, innovative, inspiring professionals and researchers.
