Rescheduling
The conference has been proponed to April 20 - 22, 2021.
With a heavy heart and after long deliberations we decided to postpone the conference due to Covid-19. We probably would have been able to hold the conference in compliance with the Swiss distance rules and other regulations at the WSL. However, there are too many uncertainties in connection with the necessary travel by speakers and participants to go on with the planning.
The call for abstracts will open again in September (deadline December 6). All accepted abstracts will remain valid but you will have the opportunity to update your abstract or withdraw it.
We sincerely hope that we will see you in April.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Cities and urban regions are among the most dynamic land-use systems in the world, with dramatic consequences for the provision of ecosystem services and the livelihood of people. Planning is a multifaceted activity with extensive experience in the management of these urbanization processes. However, our understanding of planning’s contribution to shaping urban land use, form and structure is still incomplete, with serious consequences for the efficacy of urban planning and land change models.
This international conference aims to bring together the community of scholars working on planning evaluation and urban modelling. The participants are offered the opportunity to present their current research and to discuss how theoretical developments, data sources, comparative studies and modelling approaches might advance the field.
The conference is financially supported by the CONCUR project and sustained by Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL.
