10 th Asian Urbanization Conference 

The First Asian Urbanization Conference was held at the University of Akron, Akron, Ohio, 

U.S.A. on 19-20 April 1985. The conference was sponsored and organized by the Department of 

Geography, The Center for Urban Studies, and the Center for International Programs of the University 

of Akron. More than 70 scholars from fourteen nations participated in the conference. The conference 

resulted in the publication of two books and three special issues in professional journals (one in the 

Geographical Review and two in Urban Geography) published in the United States. Many participants 

of the conference felt that there was a need for similar conferences to be held in different countries 

every three years or so, to enable interested urban scholars and planners to exchange views on recent 

development in various Asian regions. As a result, the Asian Urban Research Association (AURA) 

was formally established in January 1986, housed permanently at the University of Akron. The AURA 

is a non-profit and private research organization whose primary purpose is to promote the study of 

urbanization, urban growth in Asian regions and to organize Asian Urbanization Conferences.

Helpful Hints 

Conference Registration 

The AUC Registration Desk is located in the 

Rayson Huang Theatre Foyer. Please be sure to 

pick up the “Last Minute Programme Changes”, if 

available, which will update you on the latest 

changes of the programme. 

The Registration Desk will be staffed during the 

following hours: 



8:30 am – 5:00 pm 

8:15 am – 12:00 pm 

Presentation Tips 

• Each parallel session contains 3-5 papers. 

Each presenter has 15-20 minutes to present 

the paper depending on the number of papers, 

followed by Q&A. Chair of the session will 

inform presenters the maximum presentation 

time before the session. 

• In 15 minutes you can typically present about 

five double-spaced pages at a pace that 

listeners can comfortably follow. 

• Do not attempt to read your paper. Don’t turn 

your back to the audience to read a projected 

text and don’t read out loud what your audience 

can read for itself. 

• Indicate at the beginning of your talk if you will 

distribute your paper in hard copy at the end of 

the session or if you are willing to send 

electronic versions when you return home. 

• Concentrate on what is new, interesting and 

different rather than providing full theory and 

methodology. 

• AUC does not publish a conference proceeding 

book and, therefore, AUC does not have style, 

spelling and usage guidelines. 

• If you have any concerns about setting up your 

presentation, please go to the session room 20 

minutes before the start of your session to set 

up your presentation and ask conference staff 

to assist you before your scheduled 

presentation. 

• If you do experience trouble at the very last 

minute of your presentation (it happens!) – 

please step aside immediately and offer the 

time to another presenter while you work out 

your trouble – and don’t hesitate to ask us for 

help. We will do what it takes to get you up and 

going. 

Audio Visual Equipment 

Available On-Site for Presenters 

Pre-Set Equipment 

Each session room is equipped with a computer 

and computer projector. NO overhead or slide 

projectors are provided. Session rooms are staffed 

by student volunteers. We recommend you to go to 

session room 20 minutes before the start of your 

session to set up your presentation. Please ask the 

conference staff to assist your set up if necessary. 

Computer Protocol 

Computers are provided in the session rooms. 

You do not need to bring your own laptop for 

presentation. You might just bring the memory stick 

which contains your presentation file. To be safe, 

you may back up your file online just in case. 

The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP 

and Microsoft Office 2003 is installed. Make sure 

your presentation file is compatible with the system 

and software (e.g. PowerPoint 2007 document may 

not be compatible. It is safer to save your file in 

PowerPoint 97-2003 *.ppt format and not 

PowerPoint 2007 *.pptx) 

Internet Access 

Internet access is provided on the conference 

venue. Please refer to User Guide to Lab 

Computers and Wi-Fi (supplementary sheet) for 

details. 

Session Chair Guidelines 

• Please arrive at the session room five 

minutes prior to the scheduled starting time 

and introduce yourself to the presenters. 

• Inform the presenters of the maximum time 

that they can use for their paper presentation. 

This time can vary depending on the number 

of papers in the session and whether there is 

a discussant requiring time to respond. A 

helper in the room will help you to monitor the 

time of the presentations by showing last 5 

minutes (green), 2 minutes (yellow) and 

STOP (red) signs to the paper presenters. 

• When introducing the session - please be 

brief - tell the audience how many papers will 

be presented, how long each presentation 

will be and when there will be time for 

questions. 

• For each paper, introduce the author and the 

title of the paper. 

• In managing the Q&A-time, please ask 

questioners to identify themselves and to 

keep their comments as short as possible to 

allow the presenters to respond in full. 

• Please ensure the session finishes on time. 

Sessions that overrun will affect next 

sessions.

Following the reorganization of the Centre of 

Urban Planning and Environmental Management 

(CUPEM) on 1 July 2008, the Department of 

Urban Planning and Design (DUPAD) was 

established in the Faculty of Architecture to 

continue the teaching of urban planning and 

related areas in housing management and 

transport. The Centre of Urban Studies and 

Urban Planning (CUSUP), which was 

established 28 years ago in 1980 and renamed 

as CUPEM in 1991, was re-established to 

continue interdisciplinary research in urban 

studies and planning. 

Department of Urban Planning and Design 

(DUPAD) 

DUPAD offers taught post-graduate and MPhil 

and PhD research programmes in Urban 

Planning, Urban Design, Housing Management 

and Transport Policy and Planning. The MSc 

(Urban Planning) programme is professionally 

recognised by the Hong Kong Institute of 

Planners (HKIP) and the Royal Town Planning 

Institute (RTPI). The Chartered Institute of 

Logistics and Transport (CILT) International also 

accredits students specialising transport 

planning. The professional stream of the Master 

of Housing Management (MHousMan 

(Professional Stream)) programme (jointly 

offered with the School of Professional and 

Continuing Education (SPACE)) is recognised by 

the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and the 

Hong Kong Institute of Housing (HKIH). The 

MA in Transport Policy and Planning (MATPP) 

(jointly offered with the Department of 

Geography and Department of Civil Engineering) 

is recognized by the Chartered Institute of 

Logistics and Transport (CILT) International. The 

Master of Urban Design (MUD) is a 

professionally oriented programme for urban 

designers. 

Centre of Urban Studies and Urban Planning 

(CUSUP) 

The main function of CUSUP is to foster 

interdisciplinary research in urban studies and 

planning in the University of Hong Kong. It aims 

to act as a focus for interdisciplinary research 

and offer a forum for academics, practitioners 

and the community to exchange views on urban 

studies and urban planning; to undertake 

contract research for both the public and private 

sectors; to organize seminars, conferences, and 

workshops; to publish working papers and 

monographs; and to promote inter-institutional, 

regional and international cooperation in urban 

studies and urban planning.
