Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions

9–12 December 2025, Eurac Research, NOI Techpark, Bolzano/Bozen

10 years of Smart and Sustainable City Planning Conference

For a decade the SSPCR International Conference has been shaping the future of urban and regional development. The 2025 edition brought together visionaries, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore sustainable and digital transformations in cities and regions worldwide.

Urban areas face unprecedented challenges: from climate change, social justice, resource scarcity to digitalization and socio-economic transitions. SSPCR 2025 has created an international space to exchange ideas, showcase innovative projects, and bridge the gap between research and action. The edition focused on solutions that promote resilience, equity, and environmental responsibility, ensuring a smarter, greener, and more liveable future for all.
