The first symposium was held in London in 1983 as a meeting
place for researchers with a focus on urban pollution. Since then,
there has been a growing interest for including other aspects of the
urban environment to provide a more extensive cover of this research
area. Topics at recent symposia in Nicosia in 2006 and Madrid in 2008
included air quality, urban water, climate change, contaminated sites,
transportation and mobility. The upcoming 10th Urban Environment
Symposium will provide a forum for recent research and development
within a broad range of topics related to the urban environment.
Abstract submissions for oral or poster presentations are welcomed on any of the following topics:
Air and noise pollution
Contaminated soils and waters
Transport and mobility
Greenhouse gases and climate change
Resources and urban ecology
Land use and spatial planning
Authors wishing to present papers are invited to submit an abstract
by November 30, 2009. Please note that abstracts must be short (less
than 300 words, no figures) and should be submitted via the conference
website ( http://www.hues.se <http://www.hues.se/> ). The official language is English.
