The Edmonton Chinatown Conference 2016 will be held on June 11-12 at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The conference is organized by the Chinese Benevolent Association in partnership with the Edmonton Chinese Community Organizations and the Faculty of Education, University of Alberta.
This Conference on Chinatown past, present and future aims to bring together academics, researchers, students, youth, community stakeholders, businesses, planners, consultants and policy makers to share and learn from each other the most recent trends, concerns, challenges encountered and the solutions adopted or being planned in and for Chinatown.
Building on the success of the first ever Chinatown conference in Edmonton in 2013, the second conference will primarily focus on the futures of Chinatowns, not only in Edmonton but in other cities that have a Chinatown. Over the years Chinatowns have been affected in different ways by city planning needs and priorities as well as social, economic and political changes and by revitalization or gentrification efforts. While some Chinatowns are thriving others are experiencing displacement, relocation or disappearance. The important question to mull over is: Will there be any Chinatowns left in the future? The moment has come for a shared vision from all stakeholders to proactively explore sustainable futures for Chinatowns.
