From March 27 to 28, the 2021 Healthy Human Settlements and Future Cities International Conference & the 11th YUANYE Summit Forum was held in Xi\u2019an. Upholding the development philosophy of innovation, coordination, green growth, openness and shared benefits, the forum centered on core themes including ecological civilization development, territorial spatial planning, architectural and landscape design, featuring sixteen thematic forums and two master lecture sessions. More than one hundred academicians, industry specialists and leading design masters from multiple countries and regions across the globe gathered onsite, with nearly 1,000 professionals participating offline. The conference also connected overseas experts via live video links and launched full-time video & graphic live streaming, enabling real-time global knowledge sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in green, low-carbon and eco-friendly principles, the development of healthy human settlements and future cities aligns closely with the global consensus on peaking carbon emissions, achieving carbon neutrality and advancing green development transformation. Osman Tahir, President of the Asian Landscape Architecture Society, stated in his address that against this developmental backdrop, the exchange of cutting-edge theories, applicable technologies and practical experience by experts at home and abroad will strongly advance the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda\u2019s goal of \u201cCities for All\u201d, and foster healthier future living environments with superior quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building resilient cities has become a universal global consensus in the post-pandemic era. The United Kingdom has accumulated mature experience in resilient urban construction. To this end, the conference set up a special Sino-UK Forum on Urban Resilient Development, inviting a cohort of urban and environmental experts to hold cross-border dialogues with Arup, the globally renowned engineering consulting firm, offering replicable experience for resilient urban planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
