Today, Prof. Adriano Borges Costa presented our conference paper, "Mapping Cities in Public Administration: A Bibliographic Coupling," at the American Society for Public Administration 2024 Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America. ASPA Conference is one of the most reputable and main conferences on Public Administration worldwide. Even sick, he flew to the US to present our paper. Thank you for all your effort, Adriano. Adriano is my postdoctoral supervisor at the Arq.Futuro Cities Lab, Insper Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa, São Paulo, Brazil. #WeAreInsper #PublicAdministration #UrbanStudies #Cities #UrbanPlanning #UrbanManagement #UrbanGovernance #ArqFuturo

Arnór Bragi Elvarsson, doctoral student at Prof. Bryan Adey’s Chair of Infrastructure Management, is presenting at the Urban Research Seminar on April 17, 2024 at ETH Zürich, Hönggerberg. His presentation is titled, “Mapping, reviewing and improving the planning process for transport infrastructure in Canton Zürich”.   The work he is presenting had the objective of identifying ways that we can improve infrastructure planning processes, ultimately making them more responsive. The planning process is mapped for the Canton Zürich including all involved stakeholders on a national, cantonal and communal level, discussion of the planning organisations, their internal procedures and how the different stakeholder groups collaborate. Based on a systems-oriented review of the process, suggestions for improvement are proposed.

Finally! One of my PhD papers has been published in Cities. In the paper I examine the correlations between urban spatial structures and the frequency of city-centre visits in four Norwegian cities: https://lnkd.in/dghiraJK

We are excited to announce that THREE research papers from our City Future Lab, presented at the World Conference on Transport Research (WCTR) 2023 in Montreal, have now been published! 1.

"Determination of Bicycle Service Areas Around Metro Stations for Dedicated Bicycling Infrastructure Provision in Congested Urban Areas" Authors: Niyatha Balan and Debapratim Pandit DOI: https://lnkd.in/dbN3evxJ 3. "A Quantitative Exploration of Linkages Across the Decision Stages of the Residential Relocation Process" Authors: Preety Saini and Debapratim Pandit DOI: https://lnkd.in/d5VsiBWF These publications reflect our lab's ongoing efforts to contribute to transportation and urban planning research. We invite you to explore the findings and insights from our work!

Article: The correspondence between urban transformation and sustainable urban mobility planning indicators in Nasr City District over five consecutive political eras (1956–2024)

Sustainable Urban Mobility 🚌In the context of urban #transportation systems, #digitaltwins can facilitate real-time data analysis and predictive modeling, allowing city planners and transportation authorities to make informed decisions. 📘A new study by Eurac Research published on the scientific journal “logistics” designs the conceptual framework of the digital twin to optimize #urbanmobility scenarios in cities. Thanks to the collaboration between Eurac Research and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the researchers developed the conceptual framework of the digital twin and applied it to the city of #Bolzano ✒️Andrea Grotto Dr. Pau Fonseca i Casas Zubaryeva Alyona, PhD Wolfram Sparber 🔗Here the scientific article https://lnkd.in/dfX8AAjS

📢 New paper out: "Where is the city? Where is the countryside? Assessing the Methods for the Classification of Urban, Rural, and Intermediate Areas in Europe". My study examines European methods developed to classify urban, rural, and peri-urban areas, addressing the need for methodologies that are both locally relevant and internationally comparable.

【A Comprehensive Framework to Evaluate Urban Land Use Efficiency Based on Dynamic Evolution, Driving Mechanism and Influencing Factors】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/efyhTW-U (Authored by Bohang Zhang and Lihua Chen, from The University of Manchester (UK), etc.) #Land_use_efficiency, a basic problem in the framework system of land use research, is the key index to measure the quality of urban land use. This paper takes 16 cities in Yunnan Province as the research object, selects input indexes from land, human resources and capital, and output indexes from economic, social and environmental benefits to construct the evaluation index system for urban land use efficiency in Yunnan Province, and then analyzes the spatial-temporal #dynamic_evolution, #driving_mechanism and influencing factors of urban land use efficiency in Yunnan Province by using DEA model, Malmquist index, spatial autocorrelation analysis and Tobit regression model based on the index data from 2008 to 2019.  

🌍 Call for Papers: "Reimagining Public Spaces in Europe: Towards Inclusive, Livable, and Resilient Human-Scale Urban Environments" I am thrilled to announce that, together with Dr. Leticia Serrano Estrada, we are co-editing a Special Issue titled "Reimagining Public Spaces in Europe: Towards Inclusive, Livable, and Resilient Human-Scale Urban Environments" in the journal Land (MDPI). Public spaces are pivotal to urban environments, serving as venues for social interaction, cultural expression, and civic engagement. Our Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of public spaces in a European context, focusing on empirical research and methods that contribute to improving their role in fostering equity and spatial justice, urban sustainability, and resilience. We invite, among other topics, research on: ✅ Human-centered design and accessibility ✅ The role of public spaces in fostering resilience, equity, and sustainability ✅ Innovative methods like geospatial analysis, crowdsourced data, and participatory planning 📅 Key Dates: Manuscript submission deadline: 30th June, 2025 Early submissions are welcome and will be processed promptly. 🔗 For more details and submission guidelines: https://lnkd.in/dR6-cpnP #UrbanPlanning #PublicSpaces #Europe #HumanScale #InclusiveUrbanEnvironments #ResilientCities #SustainableCities #LandJournal #AcademicResearch

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Tampere Urban Research Perspectives, a blog dedicated to exploring the challenges and opportunities within today’s urban environments. Uniting three urban studies initiatives —TURNS (Tampere University Research Network on Sustainability), STUE (Sustainable Transformation of Urban Environments), and SUD (Sustainable Urban Development), the blog is a multidisciplinary platform for sharing cutting-edge insights from Tampere University’s vibrant urban research community, including perspectives from researchers, students, and guest writers. Whether you’re passionate about urban sustainability, curious about the future of cities, or interested in interdisciplinary research, Tampere Urban Research Perspectives has something for you. Read more about Tampere Urban Research Perspectives and mission from our inaugural post, “Reimagining Cities: Perspectives on Sustainable Urban Futures,” written by the blog’s editor Anna Koskinen and TURNS research platform’s coordinator Riina Lundman.    Join us in the conversation, share your thoughts, and envision a more sustainable future for the cities!    🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgGWBECd    P.s.
