Description

Configurational analysis refers to a set of techniques departing from graph theory to investigate topological properties of spatial systems on various scales. It allows to link configurational analytical results to social, economic and cognitive factors of cities and people. Physical, social, economic and cognitive relationships are all intertwined and the configuration of a city allows to investigate these. It is a descriptive way of understanding how spatial networks work to facilitate movement patterns, co-presence and social capital.

In the context of various urban challenges, configurational analysis allows to analyse spatial and interrelated properties and can be useful for scenario development and scenario testing of the urban layout.

Configurational analysis complements accessibility approaches through the understanding of the centrality of streets, street segments or crossing of streets in connection to their functionality and located/embedded functions. As a result, we may obtain a comprehensive grasp of how urban systems work across scales. The configurational analysis has the extra benefit of being a systemic approach that allows to identify real-world challenges and investigate these in-depth. Spatial configurative approaches allow to evaluate the role that each space plays in the overall configuration of a system, as a whole or in its parts.

Configurative analysis connects to the discourse on sustainable cities, resilient cities, smart cities, healthy cities, or the 15-minute city. It allows to investigate current spatial systems and further develop and test spatial scenarios as guidelines into the future.

The CA CITIES 2022 workshop welcomes contributions from the fields of geography, urbanism, urban analytics, environmental engineers, computer sciences and related fields. Contributions are aimed at proposing novel insights into theory, method and case studies that allow to enhance the debate for following topics and themes:

 

Themes and topics of the workshop:

  • Configurational analysis for cities
  • Sustainable and successful cities
  • Resilient cities
  • Smart cities
  • Healthy cities
  • City of short distances
  • Growing and shrinking cities
  • Managing urban sprawl
  • Spatial cognition and wayfinding
  • Theory and method development

Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the workshop TISC 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.
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

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.)
Given the focus of the Conference on Computational Science issues, the STP4P  workshop welcomes contributions on ICT, 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.
