The 6th International Association for China Planning (IACP) Conference
June 17, 2012 – June 19, 2012
We are pleased to invite you to contribute papers for the 6th International Association for China Planning (IACP) Conference, June 17-19, 2012, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
Main Topic
In the last three decades China has demonstrated remarkable progress in its urbanization. As a percentage of population, urbanization levels have more than doubled since 1980, and in 2011 the nation crossed an important threshold, becoming more than half urban. At the same time,China's urbanization has also undergone a qualitative transformation due to changes in governance and socio-economic structure. The resulting transition - in both the scale and substance of the nation's urbanization has brought both tremendous challenges and opportunities to China's urban planners and policy makers.

The International Association for China Planning (IACP) is an independent non-profit organization of scholars, students, and practitioners interested in planning issues in China. Founded in 2005 and located in Washington DC, USA, its mission is three-fold: (1) to serve as a bridge between urban planning researchers and practitioners in China and their counterparts in other countries, (2) to provide a forum for scholarly and professional dialogues, and (3) to form a lively and supportive community for its members. Drs. Tingwei Zhang, Qing Shen, and Zhong-Ren Peng had served as the IACP Board Chairs. The current IACP Board Chair is Dr. Xueming (Jimmy) Chen, Virginia Commonwealth University.

The Local Host
Wuhan University was one of the five national universities established by the Republic of China in the early 20th Century. In 2000, the new Wuhan University was established by merging four major universities, making it one of the top ten campuses for higher education in China. Wuhan University currently houses 36 schools or colleges with a total of more than 55,000 full-time students. In August, 2011, the School of Urban Design gained authorization from the State Council Office of Higher Education to offer doctoral programs in architecture, urban and rural planning, and landscape architecture, making it one of the nine schools with the triple authorizations. Dr. Ming Zhang, University of Texas, Austin, is the adjunct Dean of the School of Urban Design, Wuhan University.
The City of Wuhan is ranked 3rd in China in terms of higher education offerings and ranked 5th in terms of population size. The City is strategically located at the midpoint between Shanghai and Chongqing along the Yangtze River and between Beijing and Guangzhou/Hong Kong along China’s north-south rail backbone. It can be reached conveniently by all modes of transportation, including air, highway, water and high-speed rail.

主要议题
改革开放30 多年来，中国的城市化取得了显著的进展。自1980 年以来，中国的城镇化率已经翻了一翻，并在2011 年跨越了一道重要的门槛：城镇人口的比例超过了百分之五十（50%）。与此同时，随着政府管理水平的提高和社会经济结构的不断变化，中国的城市化在规模和内涵两个方面都发生了质的转变，这为中国的城市规划工作者和决策者带来了巨大的挑战和机遇。
2007 年至2011 年，国际中国规划学会（IACP）已经连续五次成功地举办了围绕中国城市发展和规划的国际学术会议，而即将召开的第六届国际中国规划学会年会将汇集来自中国和世界各地的规划师、设计师、学者和政府官员，共同探讨“转型中的中国城市化：挑战和机遇”这一主题。本会议的主要议题包括但不限于：城市规划的理论基础与历史研究，城市经济学，住房和社区发展，环境规划，土地使用政策，交通规划，城市设计，国际经验和创新，城市研究的分析方法，区域发展问题等
