AREQUIPA, THE WHITE CITY

GUARDED BY VOLCANOES, A WONDERFUL CLIMATE, THE CITY OF ETERNAL BLUE SKY, THE CITY THAT HOLDS IN ITS STREETS THE MAGIC OF A HISTORIC PAST AND IST CONTINUITY IN THE PRESENT, WITH ITS OWN LABEL, WITH PERSONALITY, STYLE AND SPIRIT, A CITY OF WHICH ONE NEVER GETS TIRED TO SEE AND KNOW, A CITY IN WHICH THE MIXTURE OF THE TIMES FLOWS HARMONIOUSLY.

The 10th Knowledge Cities World Summit 2017 (KCWS-2017) will be held in Arequipa, Perú.Since Arequipa is willing to be an example for others who wish to follow the same path, the theme of ‘EMERGING KNOWLEDGE CITIES’ has been selected as the overall theme of KCWS-2017.

The Summit aim to contribute to the discussion on the importance and trends of knowledge-based development theory and practice. Academics, professional practitioners, civil servants and policy-makers of the world are included in the discussions from a wide range of disciplines to share their knowledge and experiences with the summit delegates. In addition to significant academic and professional presentations, the Summit also will provide opportunities for practical exercises in workshops and small group sessions in innovative formats.
