Shanghai Shanghai IFLA Asia Pacific Regional Congress Date: 22-25 October 2012 Venue: Shanghai International Convention Center, Shanghai, China Website: www.2012iflaaprc.com Theme: Better Landscape, Better Life The Congress theme, “Better Landscape, Better Life” presents landscape architects in our region with an opportunity to focus on, and publicise, what we as landscape architects inherently believe – that one of the key elements in creating enhanced quality of life is enhancing the quality of the landscape in which we live, work and create. The last ten to fifteen years, especially in the Asia Pacific Region, have seen an amazing transformation of the world. Nowhere on Earth has this transformation been as marked as in China, and other parts of our region are undergoing the same sorts of changes. This Congress will examine such issues, among others, and will aim to present examples of and solutions to creating “Better Landscapes, Better Lives” throughout our region.
