The Holcim Forum for Sustainable Construction is an initiative of the
Holcim Foundation that brings together specialists at two-day workshops
to discuss and promote construction-related solutions to the pressing
challenges of sustainable development. These international experts
include architects, planners, developers, scientists, and representatives
from business, politics, administration, and civil society.
The Holcim Forum is held every three years. The first Holcim Forum under
the theme of “Basic Needs” was held at the ETH Zurich in September 2004.
The second Holcim Forum focused on the topic "Urban_Trans_Formation", and was held in April 2007 in Shanghai, China. Some 200 participants from over 40 countries, among them politicians, architects, professors, sociologists, students and planners, discussed for 3 days on how to overcome the urban challenges of the 21st century.
