HORTUS ROMANI IN CHINA: A ROMAN GARDEN AT IHE 2021 YANGZHOU The City of Yangzhou presented the opportunity to the city of Rome for the participation at the Horticulture Expo 2021. Hortus Romani and the Rome Pavilion are a synthesis of an architectural space integrated with vertical and horizontal green solutions that could represent the material and immaterial excellence of the Roman City and its surrounding areas. The Rome team designs the garden with two principles that incorporate their own history and culture: - Green architecture with low carbon solutions and innovative green building integrations
- Urban agriculture for an ecological transition and Green Deal.
The participation of the Rome team represents a great opportunity for collaboration in the academic, institutional and economic fields between Rome and Chinese Cities and an opportunity to strengthen the cooperation for increasingly sustainable urban systems close to their inhabitants. URBAN SYSTEMS FOR TOURISM Urban systems built with quality and ecological criteria bring about the ability to turn into tourist attractions, capable of handling, in a sustainable way, all the practices related to promotion and welcoming of incoming tourists. This process can be particularly relevant in the case of Rome, the capital city of Italy, keeper of invaluable architectural and cultural heritage. By applying the tools of digitalization and innovative technologies such heritage can be appreciated by tourists coming from geographically and culturally distant locations, Chinese tourists being one relevant example. In this dynamic context, tourism can also be interpreted as a key tool to international cooperation, potentially bridging places, cultures, and people.

DIGITAL TWIN FOR SUSTAINABILITY: INNOVATIVE INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR DESIGN At the beginning of the 4th Industrial revolution, the advent of digitalization, innovative technologies and materials, and new construction techniques, have begun transforming the way that infrastructure, real estate and other built assets can be planned, designed, constructed and operated in order to create a more attractive, energy efficient, comfortable, affordable, safe and sustainable built environment. Developments in digital design, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, have finally started to move the construction industry – traditionally reluctant to innovation and slow in adopting new technologies – towards a new era. GIS BIM & Digital Twin Laboratory of CITERA Interdepartmental Centre for Territory, Building, Conservation and Environment from Sapienza University of Rome will present its 2021 summer school online programme and invite the teachers and students in architecture-related academic institutes or the employees from the private construction / design sectors to participate.

| 18 | 19All day 2021-07-19-2021-07-30 In the context of the Bangkok Design Week 2021 hosted by the Creative Economy Agency (CEA), the International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) programme of the European Union and we!park, a partner of the Green Bangkok 2030 initiative of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), will organise a series of activities aimed at advancing dialogue and multi-stakeholder cooperation on green urban development. One of the activities planned for this event is an international online forum titled “New Green Possibilities”. The idea is to explore the different elements that will lead to new possibilities for more green space to be created in an urban environment. These elements include government policy and public engagement in policymaking and project development; the support from the private sector that recognises the value of green public space; and the involvement of the education sector in discussing and sharing new knowledge and theories. Any development should be a multi-stakeholder endeavour engaging the networks of different players for cooperation. The “New Green Possibilities” forum will consist of four sessions, namely Policy Talk, Platform Talk, Business Talk and Design Talk, featuring city officials, urban designers and planners, landscape architects and property developers as well as business executives from Europe and Asia who will share their visions and ideas for development of green urban space and introduce innovative green designs and projects. The target audiences are city officials, landscape architects, urban designers, academics and students, and the public at large who are interested in taking part in new possibilities for green infrastructure development. The online forum will be hosted on Zoom on 19-30 July 2021, 15:00-17:00 hrs. Bangkok time (GMT+7).

Introduced by the city of Barcelona in 2000, the 22@district is a new strategy enabling the connection between the local and international communities by providing better integration and increasing the productivity of both communities. Today, this district is seen as the inspiration by more than 80 innovation areas around the world. As China is shifting from its manufacturing-driven economy to technology and innovation-driven economy, innovation districts can be a new model of urban planning and development that experts from Europe and China can work together to explore and experiment.
