Torrid Zone Symposium Design in a tropical world
|
Believing that the area near the equator was too hot for habitation, Aristotle dubbed the region between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°) in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°) in the south the 'Torrid Zone'.
The tropical world is, however, home to nearly half the world's people. Fast population growth and economic and social inequality pose unique challenges and opportunities.The Torrid Zone meeting was first held in 2009, and brings together a select group of leaders, policy makers and practitioners to debate the most pressing issues affecting the tropical world.
In 2010, the Torrid Zone symposium, At Home in the Torrid Zone: Design in the Tropical World, was held as part of the TropLinks International Symposium 2010. The meeting focused on advancing knowledge on urbanisation in the tropics; identifying issues and opportunities related to tropical urbanisation and economic development; and building networks among leaders, investors, industry and researchers in the field of tropical urbanisation.
