Dear ICLEI friends and colleagues, ICLEI's Smart Urban Infrastructure agenda aims to bridge the gap between sustainable urban infrastructure needs of cities and innovative infrastructure solutions offered by businesses. The ICLEI Global Town Hall @ Metropolitan Solutions provides the paramount venue for city-business discussion and networking on urban infrastructure solutions. Centrally located within the Metropolitan Solutions trade fair held on 7-11 April in Hannover, Germany, the Global Town Hall 2014 will cover themes such as climate change and adaptation, smart cities, ecomobility, sustainable purchasing, urban agriculture, green buildings, low-carbon development, and integrated solutions. Cities planning to attend this year’s event include: Addis Ababa, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Baguio, Berlin, Bristol, Chengdu, Copenhagen, Fortaleza, Moscow, Oslo, Quito, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Rome, Rotterdam, Seoul, and Taipei, just to name a few. Some of their inspiring initiatives are featured in the local action stories below. I myself will report about Rotterdam’s latest adaptation plan which will guide the further city (infrastructure) development. We hope that you can join us at Global Town Hall 2014 in Hannover, Germany on 7-11 April 2014! For more information and to register, please visit our website here www.iclei.org/gth2014 Thank you very much and we look forward to your continued support and collaboration. Best regards,  Alexandra Van Huffelen Vice Mayor for Sustainable Development, Inner City and Public Spaces, City of Rotterdam ICLEI Global Executive Committee Member |
