    INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECOLOGICAL URBANISM Centro Cultural São Paulo – Rua Vergueiro, 1.000 – Paraíso, São Paulo, SP. 9:00 – 9:30 Arrival and Registration 9:30 – 9:45 Welcome Jason Dyett, Harvard-DRCLAS Brazil Office 9:45 – 10:30 Keynote: Why Ecological Urbanism? Why Now? Mohsen Mostafavi, Harvard Graduate School of Design 10:30 – 10:45 Presentation: Ecological Urbanism in Action Gareth Doherty, Harvard Graduate School of Design 10:45 – 12:00 Panel I: Anticipate Anticipation exists somewhere between making firm plans and making none at all. Ecological urbanism anticipates the life and form of cities of the present and the future. This panel will address strategies for city design that can adapt and respond to change over the long term. Issues of landscape architecture, urban planning and design, politics, economics, and aesthetics fall under the umbrella of this panel. Moderator: Charles Waldheim, Harvard Graduate School of Design Speakers: Alexandre Delijaicov, University of São Paulo Angelo Bucci, University of São Paulo Cecília Herzog, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro Joana Carla Gonçalves, University of São Paulo Nelton Miguel Friedrich, Itaipú 12:00 – 1:30 Lunch break 1:30 – 2:45 Panel II: Mobilize This panel asks whether it is possible to accommodate citizens’ “rights to the city” while also guaranteeing that urban resources will be effectively utilized for the collective improvement and sustainability of the city as a whole. Panelists will consider the role that governing authorities, professionals, and citizens can play in achieving a more socially and environmentally just city, and reflect on how various constituencies can be “mobilized” to guarantee the production of an environmentally sound, equitable, and prosperous urbanism.

  • Conference Paper on Disability and Aging
    Introduction The United Nations defines population aging as the process by which older individuals become a proportionally larger share of the total population. Population aging in the twentieth century was limited to developed countries. However, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, there are already more people living above age 65 globally compared to those under age five, which means population aging is in progress and will likely remain the future trend. Understanding the shift in the aging of the global population and its implications for economic, political, social and health policies, the World Health Organization (WHO) dedicated its World Health Day (WHD) theme for 2012 to population aging under the motto ‘good health adds life to years’. This was the theme of the address by the keynote speaker Dr. Jacob Kumaresan, the Executive Director of WHO New York, at the conference. The Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University, based on its mandate of promoting healthy and active aging research, hosted the day and half long conference ‘Population Aging and Urbanization – A Meeting of the Minds’ to commemorate WHD 2012. The conference was organized in collaboration with the WHO, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and the MIT AgeLab, In her welcome message, the Director of the HNRCA, Dr. Simin Nikbin Meydani addressed the important work the center is conducting dedicated to population aging and invited future collaborators to work with HNRCA to support the work of WHO. The Provost and Senior Vice President ad Iterim of Tufts University, Dr.
