Dear Mr./Mrs.,

The deadline for Call for Abstracts for Re-City 2015 Congress is extended to May 15. Please notice also that the Early Bird Registration expires on April 30. There have been questions if participation without presenting paper is possible. It is possible, and probably most of the participants will not present papers, even if many of them do so.

The Congress provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of urban planning, architecture, traffic planning and logistics, urban history, economics and business, political sciences, social sciences and humanities. The topic of the congress is "Future City - Combining Disciplines".
