CPN First World Planning Schools Admission Open House

Beijing, China
June 16, 2006

As an important part of CPN 2006 series of activities, “CPN First World Planning University Admission Open House--China” is initiated and organized by China Planning Network (CPN) and aims to enhance collaboration between East and West in the education and research areas of urban development and planning.

Since the initiative of the University Admission Open House was announced in January, it has been warmly welcomed by both western planning schools and Chinese students. We have confirmed that over 20 top planning schools from all over the world will participate in the CPN Open House, including 12 universities from the United States, 6 from Europe and 5 from Asia and Australia. In the Open House, professors from these world renowned universities will introduce their recruiting requirements in China, latest research cooperation with China, and have face-to-face conversation with Chinese students. This will be the largest education exhibition on urban planning and related disciplines in China. CPN Open House will be held annually.
