Hundreds of city mayors from home and abroad will convene in Beijing in October to discuss how to develop urban economies by boosting service industries.

The three-day 2003 International Forum on Urban Development (IFUD 2003), to be hosted by the China Association of Mayors, will open on Oct. 28, with the theme "Service Industries -- New Drive for Urban Economic Development".

The IFUD 2003 will invite hundreds of city mayors from China and other countries, including the United States, Japan, Germany, Russia, as well as world renowned entrepreneurs and scholars, and the winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize for Economics, Robert Mundell, known as the "Father of the Euro" will also be invited to lecture.

The participants will discuss how to employ new financing mechanisms and approaches to consolidate urban infrastructure construction and how to develop housing, financing, logistics and information industries to instill new vitality into the development of urban economies.

The IFUD 2003 also includes the Urban Development Exposition Fair, in which cities will exhibit major cooperative projects for attracting foreign investment or domestic private capital in their urban infrastructure construction and urban economy growth.
