International Conference on Strategic Infrastructure Asset Management for Urban Deltas
The Hotel School Sydney, Australia, 5-7 June 2013
Registrations NOW OPEN
Background
The absence of an integrated approach to infrastructure and asset management has left societies facing the challenges of ageing national infrastructure, under-investment in its maintenance, and a huge gap in addressing the associated existing and emerging environmental issues. These challenges have placed significant pressures on service providers to improve the effectiveness of managing their infrastructure inventory through adopting more efficient, sustainable, and proactive asset management strategies.
Purpose
This conference will focus on strategic infrastructure asset management for urban deltas. Urban deltas are characterised by low topography, high productivity, rich biodiversity, easy access to water and water-based transportation. It is estimated that nearly half a billion people live on or near deltas. However, these areas are fast becoming fragile geomorphic features as a result of industrial and environmental pressures such as climate change. Understanding how to optimise the difficult balance between infrastructure development and productivity, and protecting the future of urban deltas, are two focal points of the conference.
Aims
The conference aims to bring together a range of internationally renowned experts including academic scientists, leading engineers, industry researchers, government specialists and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Strategic Infrastructure Asset Management for Urban Deltas, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions to be adopted.
Scientific Committee
Professors Kerry Brown (Southern Cross University), Paulien Herder (Next Generation Infrastructures), Javier Tafur (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), David Hood (Queensland University of Technology & Engineers Australia).
