Description

Invention of smart cities is rapidly influencing the processes of urban development. This shift and the consequent impact in many areas (population growth, mobility, energy, healthcare, technology, culture, etc.) have motivated public administrators and stakeholders to foresee, plan, and integrate the existing facilities of cities and communities in order to improve individual and collective well-being.
These new ongoing processes aim to facilitate good urban strategies, policies, and short- and long-term actions, by triggering greater economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

Focusing on urban government and smart city inventiveness, this workshop may critically explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues.

How to expand the knowledge of the political machinery that is behind the conceptualisation, implementation, and development of so-called smart cities.
How can we govern current and future urban trends, enhancing the dynamic synergies between the material and immaterial data of a city (big data, IoT/IoE, sensor networks, blockchain, etc.)
What are the specifics in the development of smart cities in European countries and beyond.
How can we develop smart and open governance as a new stage of local governance.
How can we govern the urban and regional relationships without compromising urban-land synergies (between the city and the territory).
How to investigate appropriate governance models and tools in order to trigger virtuous behaviours, suitable in dynamic cities, and how to balance the new tools based on IT and the classical governance tools.
How to reflect the behavioural economics in development of smart cities and co-creation and co-production of public services.
How and if ‘smart city policies’ have an impact on the city and regional economies and make cities competitive at the national and international levels.
How to integrate the various approaches to local development with aim to strength the resilience of the cities.
Reflect on the relations between advance technology (ICT in particular) and human – place relations in the current urban environment
How can we govern the urban and regional relationships between advanced technology and smart city metamorphosis (competitiveness, cohesion, conservation, resilience…)
Reflect on the relations between advance technology and the hyper strategic planning in the smart city

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the above mentined issues.
Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Smart cities, Smart governance, Open Data, Urban growth, Participation, Big Data, IoT/IoE, Sustainability, Hyper Strategic Planning, Competitiveness, Cohesion, Conservation, Urban and Regional Planning.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members.

Description

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an upheaval in daily lifestyles and interpersonal dynamics, affecting the psychosocial well-being of the entire community. Health emergencies, such as the spread of epidemics, can cause significant stress and anxiety; this is even more understandable in light of the specific characteristics of the current pandemic and the restrictive measures deliberately adopted to deal with it.

COVID-19 has significantly affected urban mobility. Many people have reduced their travel due to local restrictions and have preferred to abandon public transport. The urban planning sector has felt the effects of the pandemic and has recognised the need of social distance in public transport. Road users tended to revert to use private vehicles for long distance travels, or they tended to use walking, cycling and micromobility for short distance trips. Cities and local authorities have organised themselves to create a range of interventions to rehabilitate or redesign walking, cycling and micromobility infrastructures in order to reduce car use and achieve sustainable mobility with zero-emission. In many countries, transport planners and policy makers have aimed to introduce a guideline for these sustainable travel modes. On the other hand, the pandemic period has not only changed daily travel behaviour but also has altered the travel demand for commercial needs. For instance, there has been an increase in e-commerce activities.

Regarding to these impacts of COVID-19 on the urban mobility, this workshop focuses on the psycho-social aspects of the pandemic, and possible outcomes on urban mobility for pre- and post-pandemic phases. The objective of this workshop is to bring researchers (scientific computing and applications in all fields of science, engineering, technology, economics, law and social sciences) as well as qualified professionals to present, compare and discuss their research progress, applications and achievements. This workshop stimulates the presentation of thoughtful insights by presenting original interdisciplinary research results and case studies on the relevant topic.

The current COVID-19 pandemic event is promoting actions aimed at defining a new sustainable and resilient mobility. Although significant progress has been made in the last decades, thanks to the adoption of shared mobility, the improvement of the electric power supply of vehicles and the promotion of walking and micro mobility for short distances electric mobility, challenges still remain on the nature of changes on mobility during the post COVID-19 era.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different scientific communities dealing with urban mobility, land uses and infrastructure from the engineering, psychological and social, economic and legal points of view in order to focus on the evolution of alternative transport modes that serve the goals of sustainable urban mobility.

The workshop focuses on the treatment of various case studies related to the trends of urban transport and mobility sector before, during and after the pandemic with particular attention to evaluation methods and developments.

Following topics are of interests to the workshop:

Sustainable and resilient mobility development (models and principles applied in illustrative case studies, including reports on local practices, international thematic experiences, innovations in regional and national legislation).
Analysis of the economic and social aspects of post COVID-19 transport
Urban planning, sustainability, infrastructural and social challenges (social inclusion, territorial cooperation, planning for resilient communities, land use changes, participatory planning processes, and urban environment)
Comparison before, during and post COVID-19 mobility scenarios
Post-pandemic transport supply and demand analysis

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop PSYCHE welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Configurative analysis, cities, urban morphology, urban dynamics, sustainability.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will take place on April 2022.

Description

The development and success of cities have always been inextricably linked to innovation. Thanks to technologies, urban systems and infrastructures can be constantly adapted to the emerging needs and the challenge of today is to ensure that technologies are truly capable of providing an effective response to the problems of citizens and businesses. Current schemes therefore need to adapt to new conditions: it is necessary to rethink the city, its logics, its traditional structures. Smart cities are an effective response to these emerging needs, made crucial by global, rapid and unavoidable dynamics.

However, the smart city, based on the assumptions of the digital economy, implies the constant connection between technological tools and people in a digital network. This connection in turn determines the collection and use of data in considerable quantities (big data) through the information available on the Internet about the people who usually surf online. If on the one hand the creation of big data can be useful to satisfy the needs of citizens, on the other it can have a negative side: the big data collected can be used abusively without having the right or even violating the privacy of individuals and going against the European guidelines on privacy as GDPR. The explosion of the Internet of things and 24-hour connection has made this issue more central than ever. All is done online is de facto tracked. Information on user’s data (preferences, behavior, etc.) could be collected in personal and collective profiles, trajectories, trend, etc.. All this data and information that consumer users produce with the use of IT represent the basis of what Zuboff (2019) defines as “Surveillance Capitalism” and represent a valuable good as they are processed and sold at auction by “data brokers” can generate both economic and political revenues. This phenomenon, paraphrasing the best term known in urban planning of “land grabbing” (exploitation of the land according to business logic), can be defined as digital grabbing.

By focusing on these premises, the SCIDAM workshop welcomes contributions aimed at proposing novel methods and visions, theoretical approaches and case studies connecting technology with the sustainable city debate.

Focus of contributions may include (but is not limited):

Smart cities and IoT, IoE
Data gathering and management: Open Data, Big Data
City dashboards and decision support systems
Data Analytics for decision support
User data management, profiling
Space and energy use;
Data-informed design and planning;
Online and informal economies;
Urban morphogenesis;
Theoretical and methodological development;
Urban policy making.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the SCIDAM workshop welcomes contributions on urban studies, engineering, spatial planning, and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed. Engineers, Urban and Regional Planners, Architects, Geographers and Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Description

The need of innovating approaches, techniques and implementation mechanisms in spatial planning are required by the changing and increasing numbers and types of pressures that socio-ecological systems have to face.
Particularly, cities represent crucial system where often the negative impacts of different processes (both natural or anthropogenic) cumulate.
Science is required to generate knowledge useful to society to tackle and solve these impacts, but barriers still exist to knowledge exchange between knowledge generators and knowledge users. There is a dire need for additional research on how to bridge the theory-practice gap and identifying characteristics of research that enable new knowledge, techniques and policies to be concretely transferred and used not only in spatial planning but also in technical instruments.
Moreover, in the recent years a numbers of “new” planning tools had been produced in the framework of mainstream global policies: i.e. energy efficiency, climate adaptation, low carbon economy. Such tools, sometimes operates in competition with traditional urban and territorial plans, in other cases stimulated positive interactions, in some applications had been recognised as a way to overcome traditional gaps of comformative planning practices towards performance based approaches. SECAP, SEAP, Climate adaptation strategies, ITIs, Urban Resilience plan, etc. represent a system of planning tools that are currently changing cities, and territories around Europe. Such “spontaneous” (as not compulsory for territorial administrations according with national normative framework) planning tools are far from be organized in a rational framework in order to assess their contribution in generating better urban transformation, but are representative of a diffuse demand for planning toward which the innovation of planning system should be oriented.
The STP4P workshop welcomes contributions aimed at proposing novel methods and visions, theoretical approaches and case studies of innovative planning process. Focus of contributions may include (but is not limited):
– emerging science and concepts;
– new techniques to support and enable planning choices;
– innovative policies and normative instruments;
– emerging strategies to connect natural and anthropogenic processes;
– emerging urban trends to enhance the dynamic synergies between the material and immaterial data of a city (big data, IoT/IoE, sensor networks, blockchain, etc.)
– spontaneous planning on emerging instances (SECAP, SEAP, Climate adaptation strategies, ITIs, Urban Resilience plan, etc.)

Description

Space syntax is an expression coined in the 1970s by Billy Hillier and his colleagues at Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. It refers to a set of techniques and theories that investigates topological properties of spatial systems and their effects in terms of urban practices. The underlying idea is that the relationship between the physical and social dimensions of city lies in the configuration of spatial structures, hence in the interdependencies among the components of the urban layout.

In the context of climate change, space syntax, encompasses a method for analysing how spatial properties limit or facilitate urban transformations and transitions in social practices based on criteria of sustainability, inclusion and equality.

The discourse on the sustainable city intersects both present and future needs and both descriptive and normative dimensions. Consequently, a descriptive approach, structured by space syntax theories and methods is central to understand the relationship between space and society with the perspective of predicting future needs arising from the demand for sustainability, inclusion and equality.

The Syntax City_2021 workshop welcomes contributions aimed at proposing novel methods and visions, theoretical approaches and case studies connecting space syntax with the sustainable city debate.

Focus of contributions may include (but is not limited):

Spatial and social justice;

Space, sustainable mobility means and energy use;

Data-informed design and planning;

Transport planning and land use studies;

Online and informal economies;

Urban morphogenesis;

Theoretical and methodological development;

Urban policy making.

Space, crime and urban safety;

Space and urban centralities.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the Syntax City workshop welcomes contributions on urban studies, spatial planning, and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed. Engineers, Urban and Regional Planners, Architects, Geographers and Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Spatial Plannning, spatial planning, ICT, urban morphology, Transport planning and land use studies, smart cities, urban and regional planning, Open Data, Big Data.

Each paper will be independently reviewed by 3 programme committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will take place on April 2021.
Individuals and groups should submit complete papers (10 to 16 pages).

Description

The purpose of the “USAS” workshop is to collect papers on the criteria and applications, methodologies and tools useful to ensure the accessibility and safety of the urban space to all categories of users, with specific reference to the most disadvantaged people.

In fact, the concepts of “Accessibility and Safety” have assumed a fundamental importance for the use of urban space, becoming the basis of any good project and fundamental requirements in the implementation of good practices for using city’s places.

Talking about accessibility and safety implies referring to these concepts in its broadest sense, not only the physical ones, but also all their other forms, including psycho-cognitive accessibility and related safety.

Finally, the “accessibility and Safety” are based on the latest generation ITS technologies, such as innovative flexible services and real-time users’ information, augmented reality, virtual reality and smart roads.

Users’ information is also another aspect to derive the concept of accessibility and safety: transport networks have become increasingly complex and dynamic, intermodality is an indispensable new mobility paradigm and users need to be guided along their movements.

Accessibility also means demand segmentation: diversifying services, correlating different data sources and providing specific information with respect to different types of users and access devices.

Focusing on “accessibility and safety”, this workshop may critically explore (but is not limited) these relevant issues:

Studying and recognizing the specificities and differences between the various categories of people with disabilities, identifying needs and, at the same time, widening the concept of disability to populations considered up to now as “able-bodied” (elderly, children, etc.);
Analysis of the conditions for an independent life for people with disabilities, or for their self-determination, through the study of measures and strategies that give the possibility of living one’s life as or almost like any other person;
Design and creation of spaces, strategies and measures to promote accessibility and safety;
Highlighting how public spaces in cities favour quality and urban security, contrasting urban degradation and how foster a comprehensive regeneration of urban spaces according to accessibility and safety criteria;
Supporting public system strategies in order to guarantee an optimal use of resources for the creation of overall present and future value in local communities;
Promoting social inclusion and raising people well-being and autonomy also through the development of knowledge, methodologies, technological tools and advanced automation techniques.

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop USAS welcomes contributions on ICT and computational aspects, proposals and applications from a wide variety of scholars on the issues proposed.

Engineers, Geologists, Urban and Regional Planners, Landscape Architects, Geographers and Economic Geographers, Environmental Engineers, among others are welcome to contribute.

Keywords: Accessibility, Safety, Urban space, Cities, Augmented reality, Virtual reality, Accessibility design, Cultural tourism accessibility, ITS, Innovative flexible services, Real-time information, Big-data.
