[Kaupunkitutkimus] Call for Abstracts – Urban Studies Conference, Helsinki, 2024 // Kaupunkitutkimuksen päivät, Helsinki, 2024 - Session on "Urban sustainability research in practice: cross-cutting solutions to cross-cutting issues"

[Gosztonyi, Ákos]

Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a session at the Urban Studies Conference in Helsinki, 23.–24.5.2024 for which we are accepting abstracts for presentation until 12th of April, 2024.

Our session is titled “Urban sustainability research in practice: cross-cutting solutions to cross-cutting issues”.

We invite presenters to share their cutting-edge research that combines data – be it quantitative or qualitative – in urban settings from at least two traditionally distinct disciplines or themes in a broad sense, but related to environmental, economic or social sustainability. Such combinations may include, but are not limited to e.g., “environmental information & socio-economic data”, “atmospheric data & built environment information”, “vegetation data & urban mobility information”.

The session will revolve around questions like “how to tap into the potential of novel data and methods, e.g., AI for sustainable urban planning?”; “how to overcome obstacles in interdisciplinary research for sustainability?”; and “how to keep up with rapidly changing cities while data often lags?”.

Please send your abstract proposal (approximately 250 words) to one of the following session chairs:

Ákos Gosztonyi (akos.gosztonyi at helsinki.fi<mailto:akos.gosztonyi at helsinki.fi>); Pak Lun Fung, (pak.fung at helsinki.fi<mailto:pak.fung at helsinki.fi>); Niharika Singh (niharika.singh at helsinki.fi<mailto:niharika.singh at helsinki.fi>); Sanna Ala-Mantila (sanna.ala-mantila at helsinki.fi<mailto:sanna.ala-mantila at helsinki.fi>)

The conference will take place in Helsinki at Tieteiden talo building on 23rd–24th May 2024.
