SPACE International Conference 2021 on City Planning and Urban Design

SPACE International Conference 2021 on City Planning and Urban Design

The 3rd International Conference on “City Planning and Urban Design” addresses all the aspects of planning and urban studies aiming to discuss the related subjects from different perspectives and research areas. The meeting attracts a substantial number of participants from all over the world. Thus, the Conference establishes an ideal platform for recent advances and research results in architecture, planning, urban design and all interdisciplinary areas such as education, interior architecture, technology, business, gender studies, politics, social sciences and so forth. The scientific quality of the Conference provided by the SPACE International Advisory Board and the variety of the topics are the most important reasons behind this success of the series.

Call for Intensives

SPACE’s “Call for Intensives” is an opportunity to contribute to the conferences that incorporate a spectrum of possibilities, including but not limited to the presentation of a concept/notion, research in progress, or incomplete research demanding a start for potential future collaborations. The formats for the intensives are as follows.

  • Format 1: Poster and PowerPoint presentation
  • Format 2: PowerPoint presentation.

We aim to create opportunities for developing the research that has yet to be completed but needs external networking support for its full accomplishments. Intensives’ presentations are not separated from other presentations at the conferences. They perform as part of sessions to introduce and discuss these projects with the academics and professionals of various disciplines.

Requirements:

1. The initial submission should include an abstract of a maximum of 250 words. This short abstract would need to be fully presented in any of the two selected formats mentioned above. It is necessary to clearly state the main concern or question under investigation and the potential outcome(s) of the research. It is also recommended to include describing the research stage and your expectations, such as asking for advice, looking for potential collaborators or academic partners to develop the research, requiring suggestions on helpful references, etc.

2. Upon approval of the short abstract, the presenter should submit an extended abstract of up to 1000 words elaborating on further details. The extended abstract (and poster if you have one) will be published in the annual SPACE Conferences abstract book; thus, applying a minimum of 5 references is highly recommended.

Notes:

1- In the case of selecting the mode of “Poster and PowerPoint Presentation”, it is suggested to apply the presentation sizes “50x70cm” or “70x100cm” with the conference name and SPACE Logo on it and their place depending on your design. Other preferred sizes are unfortunately not acceptable as they will be placed on the conference webpage. Please remember that as our conferences are hybrid in terms of attendance (unless otherwise announced), we do not hang the posters at the conference venue, and you will need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to present your work at the conference for a 15-20-minute time slot.

2- Intensive submissions for both on-site and virtual attendance should be registered from the Oral Presentation Category.

Gregory Cowan PHD RIBA

Architects’ Coach, Researcher, Lecturer, Tutor (Pt 1,2,3) and Doctoral Supervisor UWTSD

Gregory works as a freelance academic, and is also currently developing programmes for The Architects Coach, based on more than thirty years of international experience in practice, undergraduate and postgraduate education, and continuing professional development education for architects. He supervises doctoral research and teaches at the University of Wales Trinity St David, Institute of Inner City Learning. An Australian Londoner, he lives in a small Kennington flat, and sometimes on his canal narrowboat, and performs carnival music. He has worked in architecture practice and office space analysis in Germany and UK, and has completed specialist courses on subjects including Italian stone in Verona, Swiss ceramics in Laufen and Austrian building electronics in Graz. During the recent pandemic, he completed a six month Diploma in Transformational Life Coaching and a 50 day course on positive intelligence. His PhD research investigated the roles of diverse street occupations in inner city station areas in London and Frankfurt. His thesis at the University of Westminster in London is “Occupying Streets: Street Design in Railway Station Areas in London and Frankfurt” (2015). In short, his research analyses diverse placemaking aspects of streets, balancing motorised transport uses with pedestrian conviviality interests in design and planning, distinctiveness and the urban noir.
