Sustainable Urban Planning and Design Training Program with Chinese Ministry of Construction

Partnership Description:

The Sustainable Urban Planning and Design Training Program was established in early 2003 through a five-year agreement with China’s Ministry of Construction. Delivered in cooperation with the International Sustainable Development Foundation, Portland, Oregon, the Program focuses on land-use planning and zoning, urban renewal, green buildings, nature in the city, consensus building and citizen participation.

The program has been coordinated by the College of Urban and Public Affairs. This year the program co-directors are Dr. Connie Ozawa, faculty member in the Nohad A. Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, and Dr. Marcus Ingle, faculty member in the Department of Public Administration and the Executive Leadership Institute.

Since the inaugural session in March 2004, 60 officials from China’s Ministry of Construction, representing fifteen provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have participated in this intensive seven-day program in Portland.
