Malcolm Smith, Design Director at Arup's Integrated Urbanism Unit will speak about his work on Dongtan. Arup was contracted by the Shanghai Industrial Investment Corporation to design and masterplan the pioneering eco-city near Shanghai. The city will run entirely on renewable energy for its buildings, infrastructure and transport needs, and by 2050 half a million residents will live in a car-free, zero emissions and recycling city - proving that environmentally sustainable urban living is possible. The first demonstrator phase of the city aims to be completed in time for the World Expo in 2010.

Wayne is passionate about creating affordable and well-designed homes. He believes that residents should be able to recognise their own homes by the way it looks, children should be able to play safely, away from traffic, and communal gardens can help restore pride in a local community.
