Topics
Conference topics are organised into seven dimensions (6D+S). Each of them contributes to create a complex image of the city. Following key words help to explain orientation of particular topics.
- Data for the city – remote sensing for urban applications, high resolution satellite imagery, camera systems, laser scanning, sensors networks, GNSS and GPS, RFID systems, statistical data, surveys
- Database for the city – ontology, urban data models, spatial databases, data standardization, urban data consistency, conflation issues, 3D cadastre.
- Spatial processing for the city – geocoding, geoparsing, spatial aggregations, clustering , spatial interpolations, spatial simulations, cellular automata, modelling
- Divergence in the city – geodemography, communities inside the city, housing, privilege residence, divergence of public spaces, residential segregation, ghettoisation, crime and fear, migration, poverty, social exclusion, internal migration, gentrification, extremism
- Distances in the city – accessibility, spatial aspects of urban transportation systems, routing, pedestrian distances, influence of barriers and corridors, physical exclusion, spatiotemporal movement
- Development of the city – city planning, suburbanisation, reurbanisation, regeneration, brownfields, industrial heritage, deindustrialisation, movement of industrial into post-industrial society, shrinking cities, spatial aspects of relationships between human and physical environments
- Design of the city – urban 3D modelling and applications, automatic reconstruction, visualisation, virtual reality
