CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Conference on Urban e-Planning is the main annual meeting of the ‘Urban e-Planning Research Network’ (UEPNET). It will have its 9th edition in 2025. These conferences have been promoted in articulation with the International Journal of E-Planning Research (IJEPR) and were hosted at the U. Lisbon from 2016 to 2024.
It is a multi- and interdisciplinary forum for the exploration, presentation, and discussion of innovative theoretical and empirical research on Urban e-Planning. It seeks both theoretical works and empirical research on ground-breaking approaches, innovative methods and new digital tools in the field of Urban e-Planning. The Conference also welcomes short presentations with a more practical orientation.
The 9th International Conference on Urban e-Planning, organized by the UEPNET in articulation with the ‘International Journal of E-Planning Research’ (IJEPR), will be held in virtual / online format, on 5 – 7 May 2025.
Following the successful Conferences held from 2016 to 2024, the 9th IJEPR International Conference on Urban e-Planning, as the previous eight, aims to explore how the current digital transformation in the field of urban planning can serve the common good.
The growing number of digital innovations creates numerous opportunities and challenges for urban and regional planners around the world.
We seek papers that address issues related to the current digital revolution, including the introduction of AI, and its impact on urban planning and on key urban development issues.
In this context, the 9th International Conference on ‘Urban e-Planning’ aims to explore the governance and planning of smart cities; the impact of Artificial Inteligence in urban e-governance; new developments in citizen e-participation in planning; the link between urban e-planning and key social, economic and environmental dimensions, namely the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss and the virtual economy; the need to decolonize urban e-planning and the challenges ahead concerning the education of future generations of urban planners.
