Wednesday 3rd February 2010. Mumbai, India. The opening Plenary session set the scene for the whole conference, with two very prominent architects presenting on urban issues in both the local (Charles Correa) and international (David Nelson of Foster & Partners) context. Mr Correa spoke passionately about the unique challenges that Mumbai faces, especially in terms of density and lack of facilities, whilst Mr Nelson presented on some of the best-practice urban case studies emanating from Foster & Partners, such as the Masdar eco-city masterplan in Abu Dhabi.
