Background of the Topic
It is available online at: www.stateofgreen.com/en/InFocus/Smart-Cities). This challenge needs to be deeply contemplated and to be chosen/answered and this conference will provide the opportunity to do that.
It is important for students all over the world as global citizens to be aware of the urgency to preserve urban sustainability and to create a proper city, in where every people from different levels and different status can live comfortably. Students can help their society to minimize the harms of improper development of a city. As the prominent part of their own society, students are expected to contribute to the improvement and development of their own society, their country, and their world. The complexities of urban development study and human settlement are not something the student could bear to study by themselves. By sharing and expressing their experience, their thoughts, and their feelings on these matters with their fellow students and experts, they develop themselves to be the agent of change to create a smart city for all.
In line with Universitas Katolik Parahyangan’s concept about Global Citizenship, we are being urged to facilitate and accomodate students from all over the world to take parts and engage a fruitful discussion about sustainable urban and human settlement.
