This edition of the workshop will be dedicated to the theme Methods and techniques for environmental and societal sustainability. IWcee22 aims at an international and multidisciplinary audience promoting rigorous examination of relevant socio-economic and policy issues. The workshop’s areas include computational and simulation methods for tackling relevant societal challenges.

The workshop will be held from 30th June to 1st July. After two years in which the workshop was held only in virtual form, this year we return with a partial physical presence, proposing a hybrid form in which it will be possible to follow the workshop via web but it will be possible to physically participate for a predetermined number of people.

AISRe Conference – call for papers

Francesca S. Rota segnala che in occasione della prossima conferenza scientifica dell’AISRe-Associazione Italiana di Scienze Regionali (Milano 5-7 settembre 2022), co-organizza, insieme a Fiorenzo Ferlaino (Ires Piemonte) la sessione so.06 sul tema del periurbano. Termine per l’invio delle proposte di abstract è il 27 Febbraio.
Qui descrizione della sessione:
SO.06. (KEEPING ON) EXPLORING PERIURBAN TRANSITIONS Co-organised by Francesca Silvia Rota (CNR IRCrES) and Fiorenzo Ferlaino (IRES)
Consistent with Rauws & de Roo (2011), the session aims to better understand the transformative processes of the periurban area, with its assemblages of urban and rural land uses. Rauws & de Roo assumed the concept of transition to analysing the several interacting dynamics – some induced, some evolving autonomously – that occur in the periurban context. This approach is also appropriate today, as climate change and multiple crises push for novel patterns of sustainable urban development and a different relationship between cities and their hinterland, affected by a rapid land-use transition. This special session aims to investigate the current opportunities of the periurban as a theoretical and practical framework for urban and regional studies. Today, regional governments often fail to develop effective periurban area policies (Mortoja & Yigitcanlar, 2021), affecting the region’s capacity to achieve sustainable development goals.
The session aims at providing policymakers and practitioners with contributions on the following issues:
• Urbanisation and land-use change
• Socioeconomic trends and divides
• Localisation of activities, services and infrastructures
• Public policies (plans) and grass-root initiatives
• Multilevel planning and territorial governance
• Theories of the urban-rural such as operational landscapes and the hinterland question
