The main goal of the event is, “to explore, from the holistic and interdisciplinary perspective that characterizes Landscape Architecture, new ways to generate fundamental thinking on sustainability, to provide a high quality environment in urban, rural areas, and to create vital settings for the health and well being of local communities.”

本次年度会议由国际景观设计师协会IFLA和哥伦比亚景观设计师协会举办。旨在“从景观设计的历史和跨学科的角度对确立可持续性研究的基本思路的新方法进行新的探索，以为城市和乡村提供高质量的环境，并为当地社区的健康和幸福建设关键性的设施。”

What a better place to discuss about this topic than Medellin! A city that has emerged from one of the most violent cities in the world to become a city driven by a vital community and engaging sound and profound territorial transformations to bring out the powerful message of social, physical and educational inclusion.

再也没有什么地方比麦德林更合适讨论这个主题了！麦德林曾经是世界上充满暴力、最混乱的城市之一，现在已经变得充满活力并且非常安全，其转变传递出社会、物质和教育之内涵的重要信息。

The Medellin Conference will hold two days of interactive conference workshops, bringing together local and worldwide interdisciplinary professionals, scholars and academic leaders.

麦德林会议将举行为期两天的互动会议，将当地和世界上跨学科的专家学者和学术带头人聚集起来共同探讨该主题。
