The idea of the conference is for the scientists, scholars, engineers and students from the Universities all around the world and the industry to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between the Universities and the industry. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
The conference aims at inspiring the next frontier of research focused on the evolution of cities. It assesses the state of academic and practice-based knowledge related to future cities and attempts to establish a global research agenda based on joint identification of key gaps by the academic, practitioner and urban policymaking communities.
