Call for extended abstracts, videos and slide shows
How does the territorial project manifest in the actual design of our built environment?
Taking current and historic urban and rural projects as a base to move beyond a reconsideration of the profession’s fundamental goals and means, this online symposium invites theoretical, practical, methodological and empirical contributions that look at how the ongoing societal discourse manifests in space. The Institute of Urbanism understands projects both as the medium and outcome of an amalgam of influences, be they of ecological, economic, cultural, social or political nature. Thus, they welcome extended abstracts which explore how these influences are part of the territorial project and enable its spatial manifestation. They look forward to contributions from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, be they architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, planning or geography, urban studies and policy making.
The institute particularly encourages submissions that investigate (but are not limited to) the following topic areas and questions in a historical or contemporary perspective:
- Quality in urban design
- Justice in urban design
- Pluridisciplinary and pluridimensional implementation processes
