Support | The 2nd International Symposium on Green Development of Bay Area City Clusters and the 2024 Annual Conference of the Specialized Committee on Green Development of City Clusters of the China Society for Urban Science were successfully held!
The 2nd International Symposium on Green Development of Bay Area City Clusters and the 2024 Annual Conference of the Committee on Green Development of City Clusters of the China Society for the Study of Urban Science was successfully held in Zhuhai and Macao from August 14-17, 2024, which was co-sponsored by the Beijing Normal University, the Macao University of Science and Technology, and the Guangdong University of Technology. More than 300 guests attended this conference. There were 5 invited keynote speeches, 20 thematic sessions and more than 100 submissions. Centered on the theme of "Green Transformation of Urban Agglomerations for High Quality Development", the conference set up an academic exchange platform for governments, scholars and enterprises to discuss the theoretical methodologies, technological innovations and management practices of urban agglomerations in the Bay Area in the areas of high-quality development, carbon neutrality, and green transformation, which was widely acclaimed by the experts and the participants.August 15, 2024, is the second National Ecology Day, which is in response to the scientific assertion that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains" first made by Comrade Xi Jinping on August 15, 2005, when he visited Anji County, Huzhou City. The opening ceremony of the General Assembly was held on the National Ecology Day, aiming to better study, publicize and implement Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization.In his opening speech, Academician Yang Zhifeng, Director of the Specialized Committee on Green Development of Urban Agglomerations of the China Society for Urban Science, pointed out that the theme of the conference was "Green Transformation of Urban Agglomerations for High-Quality Development". The key words are "green transformation" and "high quality". The green transformation of urban agglomerations emphasizes the need to balance rapid economic growth with ecological protection and sustainable development in the process of urbanization. On August 11 this year, the central government for the first time made a systematic deployment of accelerating the overall green transformation of economic and social development, focusing on five major areas: building a spatial pattern of green, low-carbon and high-quality development, accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of industrial structure, steadily promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, promoting the green transformation of transportation and urban and rural construction and development, as well as implementing a comprehensive conservation strategy, promoting the green transformation of consumption patterns, playing a supporting role in scientific and technological innovation, and promoting the green transformation of urbanization. In addition, it will implement a comprehensive conservation strategy, promote green transformation of consumption patterns, and play a supporting role in scientific and technological innovation, deploying the acceleration of the formation of a spatial pattern, industrial structure, mode of production, and way of life that conserve resources and protect the environment. This conference is set up in the "Bay Area City Cluster", which, with its openness, innovativeness and agglomeration, has become an important growth pole for the world's economic development and a new carrier for international competition, especially for scientific and technological innovation. The urban transformation needed to draw on the capacity for scientific, technological and managerial innovation, as well as the opportunities presented by the spatial concentration of population and economic scale, and the meeting had made an important contribution to the exploration of new low-carbon development and circular economy, as well as new ecological models of socio-economic development.In the speech of Academician Yu Gang, Vice President and Secretary General of China Urban Science Research Association, he put forward the expectation that the Professional Committee on Green Development of Urban Agglomerations can promote the incubation and growth of scientific and technological talents for green development of cities (agglomerations) and contribute to the cultivation of a group of high-quality talents with an international vision, innovative ability and practical spirit; in the speech of President Li Xingwei of Macao University of Science and Technology, he mentioned that he hoped that many parties can work together to In his speech, President Li Xingwei of Macau University of Science and Technology mentioned that he hoped many parties could work together to make positive contributions to the comprehensive promotion of green development of urban and rural construction, and to create a new chapter in the development of urban science and healthy urbanization in China.

Keynote presentation at the Zhuhai venue
In the keynote report session, the conference invited four vice-chairmen of the Specialized Committee on Green Development of Urban Agglomerations of the China Urban Science Research Association (CUSRA), namely Academician He Hong, Academician Xu Zuxin, Researcher Gao Jixi, Professor Guan Dabo, and Deputy General Manager of Beijing Cedillon Technology Co. Academician He Hong delivered a keynote report entitled "Self-purifying City Construction: Exploration and Prospect". Academician He put forward a new idea of building self-cleaning cities for air pollution prevention and control, i.e. exploring a new path of modernized governance for mega-cities by applying catalytic materials to urban buildings and floors, and promoting the decomposition of pollutants by natural light and heat; Academician Xu Zuxin delivered a keynote report titled "Risks of Rainy Season Pollution in Urban Water Environments and Strategies for Controlling Them". Academician Xu Zuxin delivered a keynote report entitled "Urban Water Environment Pollution Water Quality Risks and Control Strategies in Rainy Season". Academician Xu emphasized the important roles of real-time water quality monitoring, sedimentary pollution control and oxidative synergistic rapid flocculation and enhanced separation process in the water quality risk of rivers in the rainy season; Researcher Gao Jixi delivered a keynote report titled "Challenges and Countermeasures of Promoting Green Development by Source Governance in the New Circumstances". Researcher Gao emphasized the importance of adhering to the goal-oriented and problem-oriented approaches, solving the outstanding problems, eliminating the threatening factors, making up for the shortcomings of the capacity, coordinating the deployment, strict spatial control, strengthening the protection and restoration, and upgrading the governance capacity; Prof. Guan Dabo delivered a keynote report entitled "Study on the Refined Carbon Accounting and Technological Decarbonization Paths of the Global Energy-Consuming Facilities". Prof. Guan Dabo delivered a keynote report entitled "Study on Global Fine-grained Carbon Accounting and Technological Decarbonization Path of Energy-consuming Facilities". Prof. Guan emphasized that the promotion of low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies is the key to achieving deep emission reduction in global steel, chemical and other industries, and put forward a highly differentiated global multi-industry carbon neutral pathway; Mr. Xie Tao, Deputy General Manager, delivered a keynote report titled "Exploration of the Development of Trustworthy Carbon Measurement Technology and the Application of Supporting Carbon Trading". He introduced CEDL's exploration in the development of three sets of intelligent carbon emission measurement and monitoring systems, and their application in national key industries such as thermal power, cement and shipbuilding, realizing the transition from macro "carbon accounting" to accurate carbon measurement.
