A rainy morning in Suzhou for the start of the 2010 IFLA Congress. Police escort for the bus convoy to the Suzhou Expo Centre in the newer part of Suzhou. Welcoming speeches from Chinese and Suzhou Government officials. Professional, friendly conference to further landscape architecture. The Keynote speeches gave an overall view of Chinese historical & modern landscape, modern landscape architecture, heritage through digital records and reviews of Landscape Architecture efforts by Shanghai, Suzhou & Guangzhou government officials. There was also a presentation by Niall Kirkwood titled Resilient Landscapes which gave us much to ponder about the role of landscape architects.
