Riga is a city with a unique cultural and historical heritage – the Historic Centre of Riga has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is remarkable with Art Nouveau architecture. Riga is a beautiful European city that develops large and small businesses. Great attention is paid to the tourism industry. Riga City Council and its leadership is making every effort to create favourable conditions for business development. Main characteristics in terms of temporary use practice Up to the global economical crisis in 2008 Riga was the fastest growing capital of European Union with booming property development market and emerging repurposing processes of old industrial and harbour areas around the city centre. The first experiments in temporary use were spearheaded by the interest of private investors in revitalizing degraded areas. For example, after the initial plans for the development of Andrejsala, former dock-land area just next to the historical city centre, the investors in 2005 opened the area for temporary use by artists and social projects, making this area of Riga attractive again for the population.

  • Dear Participants of the Conference!
    Dear participants of the Conference! The time flies by. It feels like only yesterday we said goodbye to each other in the previous conference. It seems like the pace of changes, dictated by the globalization, is so fast that only by meeting and taking a breath we may notice that actually we change too. It affects our perception, attitude and way of thinking, our scales and values. We want to achieve more and faster, and sometimes it is hard to accept even inevitable compromise. However, the world is too big and even similar problems are solved differently in every country, though every approach may be considered proper and appropriate for specific region or circumstances. Hence we express our gratitude to the Conference that gives us an opportunity to compare and evaluate our accomplishments and, if necessary, to adopt the best practise from a neighbour. We thank the Conference for a chance to meet each other and get more familiar. Maybe tomorrow economical considerations, imperceptible today, will make us agree on one joint action and then today’s contacts will be worth its weight in gold. May we all succeed in our intentions! Ladies and gentlemen, I have an honour to invite you to the XXVII International Road Conference! You are kindly invited to participate in the XXVII Largely economical development of the state is secured by International Road Conference that will be held on qualitative roads. Qualitative, modern road is a combination August 24-26, 2009, in Riga. of many condtions and each of them, whether it is management, planning, design, construction, supervision or The Conference will be held in a time when we are maintenance, has its effect on the outcome and also on celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Latvian our image in the eyes of the public.
