3rd International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2019 (SSPCR 2019) will be held in Bolzano (Italy)

3rd International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2019 (SSPCR 2019) will be held in Bolzano (Italy) during December 9-13, 2019, with a theme of “turning visionary approaches into planning policies and tools”. The conference is organized by our research group "Urban and Regional Energy Systems" at Eurac Research. Since 2015, SSPCR – a high-level international communication platform for academics, researchers, professionals, and decision-makers – has been a place to discuss experiences and findings in a friendly atmosphere. SSPCR 2019 aims to answer the question on how can we maximize the impact of academic research, the scaling-up and replicability opportunities of pilot projects, and the added value of local bottom-up initiatives, in relation to complex challenges posed by the smart city/region approach? The call for proposals is articulated in six thematic tracks. We invite you all to propose a session, a speech or a poster on your recent research or project’s achievements by July 15, 2019. There will be 200 participants from more than 20 countries gather in beautiful Bolzano for the event. The conference comprises plenary as well as thematic parallel sessions, posters exhibition, cultural and social activities.
