In the last decades, we have all witnessed a series of
dramatic, universal changes and developments affecting
cities – their morphology, environment, economies,
and societies. Global new conditions such as economic
internationalisation, European integration and the
creation of urban networks and hierarchies ; post– indu -
strial economies of culture and technologies; conscious-
ness of environmental degradation and the necessity of
green design and sustainable development; information
societies, increasing mobility of individuals and 'space
time' compression; growing terrorism attacks and new
security infrastructures of public spaces; increasing
migrations and cultural diversity of individuals, and co-
existence in multi – ethnic and multi-cultural urban socie-
ties. In this new milieu, cities change themselves to ad
hoc adapt into new conditions while simultaneously
scholars and practitioners in planning and design
attempt to change cities so as to better fit into new
conditions.
This conference is addressed to
Ÿ architects,
Ÿ urban designers,
Ÿ landscape designers,
Ÿ urban and spatial planners,
Ÿ urban geographers,
Ÿ urban economists,
Ÿ urban sociologists and demographers.
