Description:
Urban areas pose numerous environmental and social challenges as well as opportunities for innovation and new solutions. Urban sustainability has been conceptualized through a variety of interdisciplinary approaches. These approaches include smart growth frameworks that focus on compact, multi-use urban structure and design; zero-impact approaches centered on achieving resource efficiency via technological means; green infrastructure and nature-based approaches that focus on ecosystem services, mimicry of nature, and human wellbeing; as well as approaches centered around the production of environmentally-just cities, the distribution of environmental benefits and costs and meaningfully integrating underrepresented groups in decision making. This guided poster session aims to explore different approaches to urban sustainability. We seek posters that address, but not limited, to the following topics:
- Empirical analysis and case studies that analyze urban sustainability through one or more of the abovementioned lenses and from different parts of the world. Example topics may include sustainable urban planning, urban pollution, resource distribution and access, urban hazards and extreme weather, and urban climate change.
- Theoretical, conceptual, as well as empirical analysis and case studies about the intersection between environmental and social justice, social and environmental vulnerability and urban sustainability.
- Application of various tools for urban sustainability monitoring such as Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing, mobile air pollution monitoring, scientific instrumentation, low-cost and smart sensors.
