The world is making great economic progress.
With this progress comes rapid urban growth.
Economic benefits generally improve people’s
lives but rapid growth can also result in
environmental degradation. This phenomenon
threatens the sustainability and balanced
development of the whole world. Less developed
countries typically bear the highest burden.
Poorly planned urban development threatens
the environment and the health and well-being
of humanity.In the 21st century, urbanization
issues are a common concern around the globe.
IUTC’s mission is to address this problem
through education and training. Giving policy
makers the tools to meet these challenges
is the key to securing the sustainability
of our cities. IUTC provides this training.
The Center was opened in 2007 under the
auspices of Gangwon Province, Republic of
Korea and UN-HABITAT.The IUTC model for
eco-restoration and strategic planning for
urban areas in the Asia-Pacific region can
help your community make important decisions
for a sustainable future.IUTC’s trainings
bridge the gap between environmental research
and governments. Training programs thoroughly
cover topics including field work, strategic
planning, case studies, and professional
networking. Participants learn vital communication
skills for transforming communities at the
local, national and international levels. |
