Sustainable Airport Area International Seminar in Paris-Charles de Gaulle on the 21st and 22th of November 2011

International airports and their surrounding areas are becoming distinctive economic places, strategic for the development of regions and countries. Meanwhile, these infrastructures impact their environment. For this reason, international airports and public authorities all around the world are working more and more together in order to create sustainable airports areas.

In France, around the international airports of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Le Bourget in the Greater Roissy Area, 22 public and private partners work together under the common brand Hubstart Paris®.
Hubstart Paris® intends to create a strong Sustainable Airport Area, where economic development is closely tied to respect for the environment and social responsibility. In the Greater Roissy Area, airports, local authorities, companies, and associations are committed to reaching excellence in this field.

Hubstart Paris® would like to invite you to the international seminar organized in Paris Charles de Gaulle on the 21st and 22th of November 2011, dedicated to "Sustainable Airport Areas".
