CTBUH ANNOUNCES 10th WORLD CONGRESS

  The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is holding its 10th World Congress in Chicago on October 28-November 2, 2019, at the Radisson Blu at the Aqua Tower in Chicago, plus other venues in the city, which is the council’s home and the birthplace of the skyscraper. Focusing on the theme “50 Forward; 50 Back,” CTBUH will celebrate its 50th anniversary as the event explores the most significant advancements in tall buildings and cities from the last 50 years, while inquiring into the future of cities 50 years from now. It will reflect on both the skyscraper typology and urban development by marking their trajectory to date and considering the evolutions that must take place to accommodate a dynamic and uncertain global future. A call for speakers has been made and is open through January 30, 2019. A detailed synopsis and registration (which is open) are available.
