Welcome Message
After the success of the inaugural International Skyrise Greenery Conference (ISGC) in 2010,
we are pleased to launch ISGC 2013, entitled Density & Greenery: Evolving Into
Collaborative Cities.
The creation of skyrise greenery is becoming ever more complex. Increased design
aspirations, space constraints and development densities are posing challenges whichrequire close working partnerships and knowledge exchange between the various skyrise
greenery stakeholders. This years Conference is a partnership between Singapores National
Parks Board, Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects, Landscape Industries Association
of Singapore, and Singex. By bringing together stakeholders from the various sectors of the
landscape community, we aim to create a multi-disciplinary and collaborative knowledge-
sharing platform revolving around skyrise greenery.
By engaging speakers from diverse backgrounds, the Conference will elevate the benchmark
of professional knowledge and enhance the know-how of creating an environment suitable
for successful skyrise greenery projects. ISGC 2013 also includes a technical tour component
which showcases Singapore as Asias skyrise greenery hub acting as a model for other
metropolises around the world.
We hope that ISGC 2013 will serve as a platform for the holistic exchange of ideas in urban
greenery innovations, and fulll its potential of transforming our cityscapes and peoples lives.
The Conference is held alongside GreenUrbanScape Asiaand the International Landscape
Industry Association Summit.
On behalf of the committee, I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in November.
Against a backdrop of increasing urbanisation
and the need for sustainable cities,
GreenUrbanScape Asiawill be a dynamic
marketplace for industry players to showcase
their innovative urban greenery solutions and
landscape products, and raise awareness of theirbrands to serious trade buyers from around the
world. It will also allow regional landscape and
environmental design professionals to exchange
ideas and stay abreast of market trends. To
become an exhibitor or sponsor, or for more
information, visit www.greenurbanscapeasia.com.
The Summit aims to raise the productivity
of the landscape workforce and the value
that the international landscape industry
contributes to the global economy. Incorporating
technical tours, the Summit will be a platform
for landscape practitioners from across AsiaPacic and beyond to share experiences and
perspectives in design and implementation as
well as discuss productivity initiatives.
