INTERNATIONAL SPATIAL PLANNING AND DESIGN SYMPOSIUM ‘24

“Cities of the Future: Circular and Digital Transformation in Planning and Design”

İzmir Democracy University, Faculty of Architecture, Turkey, November 21-22, 2024

The 21st century has witnessed unprecedented urbanization and transformation, challenging the way we live, work, and interact within the urban fabric. As we embark on the journey of designing cities for the next generation, we believe it is imperative to reflect on the past, learn from the present, and envision the future. The dawn of a new century beckons us to envision cities that resonate with the spirit of progress, sustainability, and inclusivity. Our theme calls upon you to explore innovative strategies that will define the urban landscapes of tomorrow. Together, we seek to integrate cutting-edge technologies, environmental consciousness, and socio-cultural harmony into the fabric of our cities. Considering all these, the International Spatial Planning and Design Symposium, which aims to deal with the planning and design disciplines that face complex research and application problems within the framework of humanity, life and nature, will be organized (*) by Izmir Democracy University Faculty of Architecture on 21-22 November 2024. We are delighted to welcome you to the International Spatial Planning And Design Symposium ‘24, a gathering of forward-thinkers and innovators in the field of urban planning and design.
