Consequently, the theme of your conference “Education for Shared Values for Intercultural and Interfaith Understanding” could not be more relevant or timely. The outcomes of your meeting should be extremely helpful to UNESCO and its many partners as they address the threats posed by terrorism, fanaticism and intolerance. Education is a key dimension of the long-term process of building peace, tolerance, justice and intercultural understanding. However, the fact that there are increased tensions and growing insecurity in the world today requires us to acknowledge that education, as practised in schools, families and communi- ties, often does not contribute as it should to the promotion of mutual under- standing and civic responsibility. In these circumstances, the need to re-orient education so that it can help to create a better world is truly urgent. Your focus on content and curriculum, values, teaching and learning, and supportive learning environments is consistent with UNESCO’s vision of a holistic approach to quality. Moreover, your choice of culture and faith as key areas on which to build understanding through dialogue gets to the heart of the matter. The results of this conference, and its direct linkages with the Asso- ciated Schools Project Network in your region, will support efforts to mould education so that it becomes more conducive to the development of world citizens, proud of their identities and able to contribute to a sustainable and peaceful future for the world’s peoples. Please accept my best wishes for a constructive and productive confer- ence. Koïchiro Matsuura Message from the HON Alexander Downer MP Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs I am pleased to support this important UNESCO conference. The values of tolerance, universality, mutual understanding, respect for cultural diversity and the promotion of a culture of peace are central to UNESCO’s mission. Now more than ever, the threat of terrorism around the world and in our region has brought home to everybody the need to work tirelessly towards the goal of enhancing peace, security and tolerance. UNESCO is taking a leading role in this endeavour and its initiatives in education, including this conference, are to be commended. The main con- ference theme – strengthening values education - is important and topical. It will provide educators with practical tools to promote intercultural and inter- faith understanding through innovative curriculum and teaching approaches. It demonstrates also Australia’s commitment to working towards enhanced cul- tural diversity, peace and environmental stewardship. Australia is a culturally diverse society, tolerant and inclusive, a nation built by people from many different backgrounds and many faiths. Our people- to-people links play a pivotal role in increasing mutual understanding of each other’s culture and communities, and form part of Australia’s bilateral relation- ships in the region. These bridges of understanding need to be strengthened as we work together internationally to confront a terrorist threat that seeks to foment hostility between cultures and faiths. I congratulate the Australian National Commission for UNESCO and its partner agencies for bringing such a distinguished group together for this con- ference. I would like to welcome to Australia the eminent educators, commu- nity and faith leaders and others who have travelled from all around the region to participate. Please accept my best wishes for a constructive and productive conference. The Hon Alexander Downer MP Minister for Foreign Affairs Message from Mr Mike Rann Premier of South Australia Welcome, delegates – and especially our overseas guests – to Adelaide. We in South Australia are delighted to be hosting the Education for Shared Values for Intercultural and Interfaith Understanding conference, and my Government is honoured to be taking part. I am very impressed with the conference program. The breadth and cali- bre of your speakers are outstanding, and you have set down for discussion some of the most urgent and critical issues facing the world in 2004. War and global terrorism have dominated international affairs over the past three years, and much of this conflict can be sourced back to ignorance and intolerance of one another’s cultures and faith. In this environment, it is critical that we reinforce the universal value of education as a means of fostering understanding and harmony. Clearly, all of us – not just educators and students – have a role to play in this task. South Australia is a richly multicultural society, and we have long been considered an open, tolerant and socially progressive place to visit and live. My Government believes that this ethos does not simply develop of its own accord and persist without effort. It needs to be kept in good repair. And it needs to be discussed, explained and encouraged – especially among our young people. As part of a historically progressive education system in South Australia, the Government has in place a Human Rights Education Program (HREP) for primary and secondary school students. This is complemented by a human rights professional development pro- gram for teachers and early childhood educators. I am especially pleased that a number of Adelaide schools taking part in HREP will be hosting conference guests. We have learned a great deal through these programs, and we are happy to share our knowledge with visitors. Most all, however, we in South Australia are really looking forward to learning from Education for Shared Values. We see it as a superb opportunity to gain valuable insights from some of the world’s leading figures in the field and – as a result – to practically improve the standard of our own education. I am confident this conference will help us identify common human values and inculcate them among those who represent our strongest hope for the future – our young people. I hope the conference proves rewarding and stimulating, and that you have a wonderful time in South Australia. Mike Rann Premier of South Australia Message from Professor Ken Wiltshire AO Chairperson of the Australian National Commis- sion for UNESCO We are delighted to join with the UNESCO National Commissions of the Asia-Pacific region in hosting this very timely event. Ours is a region with a rich mosaic of cultural diversity, symbols, and beliefs, and we look forward to a fruitful dialogue on the important themes we will be addressing. In our turbulent world it is clear that we need to deepen our understand- ing about each other’s culture and faith in order to develop a consensus around shared values.

The root of religion gives rise to compassion and loving-kindness; just like a tree springs from the root. Religious teachings of morality, virtue and the Law of Cause and Effect are like the branches and leaves of a tree. Attaining wisdom through practicing precepts and meditative concentration is similar to flowers giving rise to fruit. Its ultimate goal is to realize the true reality of the universe. (Religion encompasses both the highest philoso- phy and the most advanced science.) That is why religion (Zong Jiao) is important education for every human being.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction

    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018

    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

First, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisor, Professor Mayfair Yang, for her patience and support from the very first year of my graduate education. I had no understanding of the theories she introduced me to when I first read them in our seminars, but over time I grew to see them in a new light. I would also like to thank Professor Fabio Rambelli and Professor Vesna Wallace for their help and for the Buddhist histories and philosophies that they introduced me to, which have opened new avenues for me to explore. A special thanks to all the faculty and staff in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara who have helped me grow into a more knowledgeable person than I was before I began this journey.
