Since 2015, the Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions conference has been the place to discuss planning methodologies and tools to help the transition of urban areas towards smarter and more sustainable living.
Each edition has brought together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from around the world to address issues such as climate change, energy efficiency, and socio-ecological transformation. Most of all, the conferences have been a collaborative environment to share ideas, plan future projects, and help shape the cities of the future.
