"Harmony and Prosperity - Traditional Inheritance and Sustainable Development"
IFLA 47th World Congress Suzhou, China 28-30 May 2010

In the past 60 years China has made tremendous achievements in all areas of landscape architecture, especially in national and provincial Garden City actions, urban green space system planning, design and construction, preservation of historic gardens, and national parks stewardship and management.
Organised by the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture supported by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China, co-organized by Suzhou People's Government and Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Jiangsu Province, and sponsored by China Architectural Culture Centre, the Congress will focus on cherishing and protecting traditional natural and cultural values. It will try to balance tradition and development in today's society in the broader context of rapid globalization and urbanization.
