Following the outstanding success of the 2006 edition, naseba, a leading business information company, launches the 2nd edition of the Global City Expansion Congress taking place on February 26th-27th in the largest of all emirates - Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi, UAE February 14th, 2007 - Cities are expanding at a rapid pace throughout the world. An estimated number of 500 urban areas will have a population of more than one million people by 2015, compared to 314 such areas at present.
With the increased requirements to improve and develop infrastructure in cities around the world, Planning and Development Officials are under more pressure than ever to create "super cities" that attract, create and hold wealth.
Global City Expansion Congress 2007 offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by project managers when creating "super cities". Participants will have the opportunity to attend prescheduled one-to-one business meetings with the solution providers of their choice.
In addition to increased business-making opportunities, Global City Expansion Congress 2007 provides an educational conference agenda focusing on breakthrough industry trends and topics, including keynote presentations from such industry-renowned experts as Jonathan Hook, Global Construction Leader of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Nigel Roderick Mckenzie, CTO of Intelligent Green Building Project and Navin M Raheja, MD of Raheja Developers India. Keynotes and panel discussions will uncover the latest in urban planning, sustainable development, legal framework, policies on housing and development, bidding for the Olympics, as well as disaster recovery just to name a few.
"The congress was extremely useful, valuable, of high standard and gave me an opportunity to meet key players in person. Excellent customer suppliers. The congress establishes the right contacts and points in the right direction", says the Operations Director for Oman Airports Management.
Global City Expansion Congress 2007 is working in strategic partnership with such reputable media as BBC, CNBC Arabiya, Al Aqariya Real Estate Channel and 7Days and will be opened by Dr Falah Al Mustafah, CEO of Bayt Al Khidma Properties.
