In places where many people come together, information and knowledge is exchanged and new ideas are created. Airports, train stations and motorway rest areas are not only transportation hubs, but rapidly develop as innovation hubs. There is a historically unique situation in Europe: The new member countries of the European Union show an enormous dynamic development and also the markets in Russia and Asia influence the development. The unique geopolitical situation has enormous impacts on the real estate business. Vienna International Real Estate Conference focuses on topical trends and perspectives in the field. Beside that the topics of technological development – ICT and the needs of the information society – and the impacts on real estate business will be discussed.
CORP conferences are held annually since 1996 and are Europe's major congresses on Urban Development and Information Society. About 400 experts from around the world from the fields of urban planning, transport planning, information and communication technologies, architecture, ecology, real estate, surveying, multimedia technologies and more come together this year at the Vienna International Airport to discuss up-to-date tasks and topics on urban planning, regional development and information society (

Networked thoughts on space and timeSpeakers and participants come as well from private companies, research institutions and public administration. The common element is “thinking in spatio-temporal relations” in the field of urban and regional development.
As on the one hand the real estate sector is directly influenced by spatial planning on all levels and on the other hand strategies, concepts and plans alone do not make a successful urban development it is obvious that it makes sense to have a common look on the topics real estate development and spatial planning with the general topic REAL CORP 007: To plan is not enough.
Main topicsThese main topics will be the heart of the conference: "From abstract plans to realized projects: co-operation of urban planning and real estate development in cities", "PPP – Public-Private Partnerships in urban and real estate development", "Private and public space in the city of the future – who pays and who benefits?", "The needs of information and knowledge society for the urban fabric", "Housing the information society", "Transport and logistics buildings: the underestimated live veins of the city", "Urban, environmental and transport technologies and their role in successful project realization".
Speial Workshops will be held:
AIRCLIP: Airports and Climate Protection / Achieving Sustainability at Airports
SECURITY of CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: Terrorist Challenge As A Threat To Current Urbanisation
SYSTEM DYNAMICS: international developments of SD application in the context of land use, transport and related fields of science.[/list]
