Florham Park, NJ (PRWEB) September 10, 2010

Jack Armstrong, Building & Construction Market Leader for BASF Corporation, will be a featured speaker at CITYDESIGN + CITYBUILD 2010 on Sept. 14-16 at the Hyatt Regency Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. The forum, produced by Montreux Energy, will gather a wide cross-section of public and private sector experts to discuss new ways to improve the efficiency and sustainability of urban energy, systems, and infrastructure.

“At BASF, we realize that it truly takes an entire city, working in concert, to measurably reduce our collective consumption of natural resources and secure safe and long-lasting infrastructure systems,” said Armstrong.

Armstrong also explains that because BASF provides products and technology solutions that improve energy efficiency, durability and reduce overall environmental impacts in every industry sector, the Company has a unique perspective to share. His comments will focus on how BASF integrates sustainable development internally and in concert with public and private partnerships globally.

CITYDESIGN + CITYBUILD 2010 sessions will examine the connections between water and energy; smart grid technologies and reduced carbon emission strategies; sustainable mobility and transportation systems, and waste-to-energy best practices. The event formally opens with registration and a reception starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept 14. For a full CITYDESIGN + CITYBUILD agenda please visit, http://www.citydesign.com.
