Publish before a global audience. Present in a supportive environment. Network and create new relationships. Hear the latest research. Experience Barcelona. Join a global academic community.

The City2016 Conference Theme: “The City: Site and History”

Cities exist in both space and time. How have cities taken on their different shapes – residencies, commercial quarters, waves of settlement and expansion? Why have they taken on specific locations – riverside geographies, trade routes, fortification, population flows, religion, food, migration? How has their siting played into history, politics and culture?

The theme of the conference is “City: Site and History”, and we anticipate exciting interdisciplinary response from scholars and practitioners in the arts, humanities and (social) sciences, from artists and writers, to urban planners, designers, and futurists.

We welcome abstracts in the open call in the following sub-themes and academic (inter)disciplines:

1 – The Smart City, The Future City, and the Future of the City
2 – The Built City & The Mapped City (Urban Planning Architecture and Design)
3 – Governing, Managing & Surveilling the City
4 – Media and the City
5 – Migration, Multiculturalism and the City
6 – The Divided City
7 – The City: Finance, Financing, and Competition
8 – Hospitality. Tourism and the City
9 – The Sustainable City
10 – Health and Wellbeing in the City
11 – Educating the City
12 – History and the City
13 – City Voices & City Sounds (The Musical City)
14 – The Artistic & Literary City
15 – The Underground City: Night, Sex and Death

This international and interdisciplinary conference will again bring together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss new directions of research and discovery in the City. As with IAFOR’s other events, City2016 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by May 15, 2016.
