Following the success of our inaugural conference in 2010, we are delighted to announce the 2nd Urban Environmental Pollution conference with focus on Creating Healthy, Liveable Cities.  In Boston in June of 2010, we began to explore the nature of the urban environment and pollution on human health and well-being. UEP2010 identified many areas of urban life that warranted further investigation and we aim to continue the exploration of the urban environment and how we can begin to create a healthy and liveable environment in cities.

Conference Themes:

• New information about urban environments and how they function
• Pollution problems and possible solutions
• Role of the built environment in alleviating heat islands
• Human health problems and solutions
• Role of vegetation in mitigating urban pollution and human health problems
• Innovative methods for alleviation of urban stress problems

Call for Papers

Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on these topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system. Abstract submission deadline: 16 January 2012.
