Its goal is to place the Urban Agenda at the highest level in development policies.Established in 2009, the campaign platform is coordinated by UN-Habitat and driven by a over 136 committed partners and networks from around the world representing governments, civil society organizations, local authorities, the private sector, the research community, trade unions, parliamentarians, professional organizations, and youth and women groups. The World Urban Campaign’s General Assembly of Partners is a special initiative launched in 2015 to collect the ideas, perspectives, and concerns of non-governmental organizations around the world related to the development of sustainable and resilient urban environments and present its findings at the UN-Habitat III global summit. Habitat III is shorthand for a major global summit, formally known as the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, to be held in Quito, Ecuador in October 2016 to set a new global strategy around urbanization for the next two decades. The conference will be the first time in 20 years that the international community, led by national governments, has collectively taken stock of fast-changing urban trends and the ways in which these patterns are impacting on human development, environmental well- being, and civic and governance systems worldwide. Recent years have seen a historic shift in where the world’s communities are living and working. Starting around 2009, more people around the globe began living in urban rather than rural areas. It is expected that by the middle of this century nearly three-quarters of the world’s population will live in towns and cities. Globalization and an unprecedented urban growth bring out new challenges for cities’ development. In a context of increased urban density, ensuring equitable access to basic services – housing, sanitation, transportation – is becoming a critical challenge. The upcoming global conference marks the first time that local culture and heritage has been included in the principles set forth by UN-Habitat to build sustainable and resilient cities. Although the contributions of culture and heritage to urban development is widely recognized, it has been marginal in international debates on urbanization over the last 40 years. In recent decades, cities from various parts of the world have expressed a growing interest in placing culture at the core of urban development strategies where a strong sense of place celebrates the value of indigenous knowledge, diversity, and creativity. Municipal authorities are increasingly investing in culture and giving cultural values a key place in development. The conservation of historic centers has been widely promoted to attract cultural tourism and sustain job creation strategies. The global success of World Heritage cities shows the importance of historic and cultural preservation. 10:30 Break 26th New Generation Seminar, Honolulu Program, page 3 of 11 10:45-12:15 Preserving Cultural Heritage in the Urban Context: What is it and Why does it matter? William Chapman, director, Graduate Program in Historic Preservation and professor and acting chair, Department of American Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa Looking at the role of heritage in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, including importance for culture and identity, tourism, and environmental management. The talk will examine a number of heritage properties and property types, discuss threats- both immediate and long term- and discuss alternatives and strategies for conservation. 12:15 Break; get lunches, return to room 2012 12:15-13:00 Lunch 13:00-13:25 Overview of Native Hawaiian History and Traditions and Cultural Preservation Mark Alapaki Luke, chair, Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, University of Hawaii The Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies mission is to achieve and maintain excellence in the pursuit of knowledge concerning the Native people of Hawaii, their origin, history, language, literature, religion, arts and sciences, interactions with their oceanic environment and other peoples; and to reveal, disseminate, and apply this knowledge for the betterment of all peoples. 13:30 Depart Burns Hall for Iolani Palace 14:00-15:00 Tour of Iolani Palace Tour guide: Zita Cup Choy, historian/docent educator, The Friends of Iolani Palace; Dean Sakamoto, principal, Dean Sakamoto Architects, and founder, SHADE Group (Sustainable Humanitarian Architecture Design for the Earth) will accompany the group on the tour. Iolani Palace, the only royal palace in the US, is an enduring symbol of Hawaiian independence. Located in the capitol district of downtown Honolulu, the palace was the official residence and capitol of the last ruling monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawaii - King Kalakaua and his sister Queen Lili'uokalani. After the monarchy was overthrown in 1893, the building was used as the capitol building for the Provisional Government, Republic, Territory, and State of Hawaii until 1969. The palace was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 1978 and is an historic landmark on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Iolani Palace represents a living restoration of a proud Hawaiian national identity and is recognized as the spiritual and physical multicultural epicenter of Hawaii. Historic Hawaii Foundation is a non-profit organization that encourages the preservation of historic buildings, sites and communities in Hawaii. Founded in 1974 by concerned citizens to protect the Islands’ irreplaceable historic and cultural legacy from des truction, the foundation has become the driving force behind preservation in the state through its core programs of developing a community ethic of historic preservation, supporting smart legislation, and providing direct assistance to make preservation accessible. 15:00-15:30 Short Guided Walk from Iolani Palace to the Hawaii State Capitol Led by Dean Sakamoto Buildings as Markers of Time and Symbols of Power and National Identity: How a place can demonstrate cultural legacy 26th New Generation Seminar, Honolulu Program, page 4 of 11 The Hawaii State Capitol was dedicated in 1969, ten years after Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the US in 1959.The building design is an American adaptation of the Hakonya style termed "Hawaiian international architecture." Unlike other state capitols modeled after the US Capitol, the Hawaii State Capitol's distinct architectural features symbolize various natural aspects of Hawaii including a reflecting pool symbolizing the Pacific Ocean;

  • The Outrigger Story
    The Outrigger Story Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach, 2012 I discovered an island™. I discovered Outrigger. A people steeped in tradition. Nurtured by the land. With gentle respect for the beauty that frames every day. I wasn’t the first to step onto its soil. But I feel I’ve found this island. At the heart of Outrigger Hotels & Resorts lies the spirit of discovery. For more than 60 years, we have shared a warm island welcome with our guests: today we strive to also bring them meaningful experiences; ones that will touch their hearts and create lifetime memories. Welcome to Outrigger. The Outrigger Story In 2012, Outrigger Enterprises Group celebrates 65 years of hospitality. What is today a top multi-branded, multi-faceted hotel management company in the Asia-Pacific region began as the dream of Roy C. Kelley, who pioneered the concept of family-style hotel rooms in Waikiki. Together with his wife, Estelle, he helped bring the dream of a vacation in paradise within the reach of the everyday traveler. In so doing, he forever changed the face of Hawaii’s visitor industry. Boulevard, Montegue Hall at Punahou School, the old The Kelley Family Halekulani Hotel, and the former Waikiki Theater. Entrepreneurs at heart, in 1932 the Kelleys went into part-time business for themselves by constructing a six-room apartment building in Waikiki. Other apartment buildings soon followed. During this time, however, the only hotels available to visitors in Waikiki were the Royal Hawaiian, the Halekulani and the Moana – all catering to the wealthy and well to do.
