Hi Allen,

Kamusta? I hope you could send some engineers, architects and planners from the QC LGU to attend the 6th Philippine Towns and Cities Conference on November 4, 2011. The urban revitalization of old city centers and historic districts is the new big thing for urban planning and LGU development plans.

This would be a good opportunity for your staff to get insights on opportunities in the revitalization of historic districts. Thanks and please feel free to contact me if you have any queries. Please see program below. Thanks!

Ivan
