Description

The Covid-19 Pandemic and climate change repropose the issues of the relation between the built environment (BE) and quality of life, subjective well-being (SWB), Liveability and Health. In response to these new urban concerns, urban policies have focused on reorganising cities to improve strategies for achieving resilience, sustainability, inclusion and individuals’ quality of life. The C40 cities initiative, that include 100 major cities in several Countries, underlines the need for actions of urban regeneration as a central condition for a sustainable and just recovery. Strategies adopted in several cities, including Milan, Paris, Bogotà, Portland, Melbourne focus on a re-configuration of the built environment aimed at implementing smart and sustainable mobility solutions, expanding the ecological infrastructure, increasing the provision of basic services at the district scale, and transforming public and open spaces for multi-functional uses (C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, 2020; Miller, 2021). The emerging urban concepts proposed for the post-pandemic scenario converge on the idea of an adaptive transformation of the urban environment based on criteria of density, diversity, safety, proximity and digitalisation. These aspects can be summarised in the idea of the smart and healthy city. The latter can be defined as an urban concept that prefigures the integration of the dimensions of proximity and diversity of primary and secondary uses, localization and distribution of local services, density, digitalisation and usability of public and open spaces, as central aspects for constructing a city, for the post-pandemic scenario, that ensures quality of life, well-being, sustainability, and social inclusion.

Thus, the proposed workshop aims to investigate (but is not limited) the issue of the relation between built environment components and SWB, as a key aspect for the construction of smarter, safer, and healthier cities for the post-pandemic scenario.

The workshop will host contributions focusing on the theoretical and methodological approaches related to the construction of a smart, safe and healthy city for the post-pandemic scenario. More precisely, the pertinent topics will include: i) the conceptualisation of the post-pandemic city within the perspective of the smarter, safer, and healthier city; ii) the influence of physical components of the urban built environment on quality of life; iii) the role of public and open spaces to promote a liveable and sustainable urban environment; iv) the influence of urban characteristics on the perception of the built environment from the different categories of citizens; v) the analytic methods, tools and techniques to support urban decision process oriented to smart, safe and healthy cities; vi) strategies of urban planning within a perspective of sustainability, inclusion and cohesion.

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-mentioned issues.

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

Description

Government agencies responsible for climate change and waste management worldwide are challenged by minimising urban pollution. The task of minimising pollution requires an understanding of their sources, distribution patterns and accumulation zones, at global level. In fact, a South-North “virtual corridor” is envisaged for a knowledge exchange on how various regions of the globe understand the relationship between Climate Change and smart and sustainable cities.

The objective of this workshop focuses on tools, practices and approaches related to climate change adaptation towards smarter and more sustainable cities, and, in particular, on how the advanced use of remote sensing, satellite imagery, participatory mapping, citizens science and future ecosystems modelling can assist in building a more a smart and sustainable city.

Focusing on the link between climate change and cities transition on climate change adaptation, the workshop by critically focus on (but not limited to) the following issues:

Exploring the nexus between waste, climate change and future ecosystems by considering the similarities and differences between the South and the North of the world.
Presenting the concept of sustainability, resilience, and climate change adaptation in the South and North of the world in urban and region world contexts.
Investigating how the advanced use of remote sensing may help in the transition of resilient cities into intelligent, wise, and sustainable communities.
Climate Change mapping and modelling, as well as preserving river and ocean pollution.
Building urban resilience and urban smartness in cities through participatory mapping, citizen science and/or other tools, practices, and approaches.
Exploring strategies cities can implement to stimulate the circular economy from collected plastic waste.
Challenges and opportunities in climate change adaptation.

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

July 3rd – July 6th 2023

Description

The purpose of the “USAM” workshop is to enhance discussions on the criteria and applications, methodologies and tools useful for identifying, evaluating, planning and designing inclusive, diverse and accessibility for all. Universal accessibility or ‘access for all’ is a key component of achieving sustainable development. Conventional transport and land use planning seek an improvement of accessibility without directly serving the real needs of individuals and groups. This leads to issues of transport disadvantage and mobility inequality that translates to lack of access or ability to access key functions and hampering development of social opportunities. These inequalities can manifest in fundamental forms such as lack of access to employment, education or services. Inequalities can also be more insidious such as perceived lack of safety by certain user groups due to their socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity and income levels) that prevent them from accessing parts of their cities and regions.

As transport networks have become increasingly complex and dynamic, intermodality and users specific schemes and policies are needed. The concept of universal accessibility is important for the realisation of urban space that is legitimate, vital and serves a wider demographic. This supports the realisation of Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 5 (Gender equality). The workshop welcomes all interpretations of universal accessibility from exploration of the physical infrastructure, psychological and cognitive accessibility and perceive and real safety of diverse user groups. The latest generation ITS technologies, such as innovative flexible services and real-time users’ information, Internet of Things, augmented reality, virtual reality and smart roads offers new paths of explorations. The widespread availability of user information and data is also another aspect to for further explorations.

Focusing on inclusive, diverse and universal accessibility, this workshop invites critical exploration (but not limited to) the following issues:

Studying and recognizing the specificities and differences between the various user groups, identifying needs, opportunities and abilities and, challenging the ‘one size fits all’ approach of current transport policies;
Analysis of spatial conditions necessary for design and creation of spaces, strategies and measures to promote universal accessibility;
Tools and methods for integrated approaches for decision making to ensure spatial quality of public spaces, level of safety and security, contrasting urban degradation and how foster a comprehensive regeneration of urban spaces according to universal accessibility 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’s 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 USAM 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.

Description

Development and territorial cohesion of island regions embrace tricky planning and policy issues that are closely related to the inherent structural problems such fragmented places exhibit. Dealing with these issues implies the need to feature, comprehend and properly manage island territories in a holistic and integrated way, taking into consideration both their spectacular and valuable natural and cultural assets, as well as the physical barriers and their impacts on the future development pathways of insular communities.
In handling islands’ inefficiencies but also prospects, this workshop aims to get insight into the strengths but also the structural weaknesses of various types of island regions; and explore the potential of technological developments and their applications for effectively handling such inefficiencies in these, largely neglected, European territories.
Focusing on the main strengths and weaknesses of insular territories as well as the current technological developments and their potential for coping with islands’ development lag, the concept of “Smart Islands” is explored by critically focusing on (but not limited to) the following issues:

[1] Exploration of current national and international initiatives, knowledge and practice on the topic of smart islands’ development.
[2] Identification of strengths and structural weaknesses of various types of island regions.
[3] Exploration of the use of technological advances for establishing strong links among productive sectors in insular communities and creating value chains as a driving force for adding value to the economy and society of island territories.
[4] Potential smart applications for serving environmental, societal and sectoral needs and goals of island regions, with special emphasis on smart governance and spatial data management for place-based decision-making and monitoring of spatial dynamics in island contexts.
[5] Integrated participatory planning in island regions as essential tool for setting up effective strategies and related policy paths for sustainable and resilient resource management and more promising future development trails of island communities.
[6] Delineation of practical or theoretical guidelines or strategies for establishing smartness in “fragile” insular spatial contexts, also in terms of mobility and distributive logistics.
[7] Consideration of technology at the service of islands’ sustainability, resilience, cultural development, citizens’ empowerment and engagement, strengthening of identity and social ties, etc.

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 Islands, Smart Cities, Smart Regions, Smart governance, Smart Communities, Urban and regional growth, Open Data, Big Data, Cultural Heritage Management, Distributive Logistics, Intelligent Transport Systems, Sustainability, Competitiveness, Cohesion, Conservation, Urban and Regional Planning.

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

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.

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.

Keywords: Smart cities, spatial planning, ICT, urban and regional planning, Open Data, Big Data, IoT, IoE, data analytics, decision support systems.

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).
Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volumes
