ASIA - Singapore is hosting a new regional trade exhibition and conference in what it claims is a sign of the nation's growing importance as a hub for landscape and urban design solutions.
GreenUrbanScape Asia takes place at Singapore Expo from 7 to 9 November 2013, showcasing innovations in all aspects of landscape and urban greenery, including planning, design, construction, and management.
The event also incorporates the 2nd International Skyrise Greenery Conference and the 2nd International Landscape Industry Association Summit.
“Over the years, Singapore has developed a proven track record in greening urban spaces and balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability,” said director of industry and centre for urban greenery and ecology at the National Parks Board, Teva Raj.
“The landscape industry will continue to play a pivotal role in Singapore’s journey to transform itself into a 'City in a Garden'.
With the industry expected to grow between four and six per cent each year, GreenUrbanScape Asia is hoped to contribute to the projected growth by strengthening buyer-contractor partnerships, improving management know-how and promoting trade.
Exhibition company Singex is also helping to organise the event.
“Singex is committed to the development of events in emerging and specialised industries, and the landscape sector is one in which we see vast potential,” said CEO of Singex Group, Aloysius Arlando.
A new tank storage event has appointed Singex as Asia Pacific representative.
