1. To promote the development of the state of the art and practice in geotechnical infrastructure engineering for Mega cities and associated geotechnical problems from technical and socio-economic viewpoints.
2. To exchange knowledge and information on geotechnical issues at during time of construction and reconstruction of Mega cities and new capitals, like Tokyo, Mumbay, Kolkata, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico, New York, Istanbul, Cairo, Astana, Moscow, Brasilia, Berlin etc.
3. To develop or improve design conception and philosophy of Geotechnical infrastructures of construction of highstore buildings and unique objects on new capitals and Mega cities.
4. To promote compilation and archiving of data and information on developing on geotechnical records on Mega cities. As one of the activities toward this direction, it is planned to publish a case history volume accommodating different geotechnical data of good qualities, so that international geotechnical researchers can refer it as bridge for developing geotechnical engineering on problematic soil ground on Mega cities.
