The International Congress on Proximity Planning (26th - 28th June 2024) invites original research submissions exploring the thematic and empirical challenges and opportunities that arise in the application of proximity-based planning in cities.
Proximity planning encompasses a diverse range of disciplines seeking to promote equitable accessibility in support of complete neighborhoods. A complete neighborhood is one that offers destinations and activities that support the daily life of residents and visitors. From housing, urban design, and infrastructure, to planning tools, resource allocation, and social interaction, understanding that the dynamics of proximity planning hold immense potential for creating sustainable and well-functioning cities.
Due to the media impact of recent circumstances or urban strategies, this long standing local planning principle is once again showing its potential as one of the foundations for city regeneration and a more resilient urban development able to address global challenges. However, the conceptual framework in which to integrate it, its policies, tools and metrics among other questions, need further discussion.
This conference aims to shed light on emerging themes and challenges and foster discussion around innovative approaches and unresolved questions around the globe. We welcome papers addressing, but not limited to, the following areas:
| Frameworks | 15-minute city & Proximity-Centered Accessibility. Healthy City. Walkable City. Equity & gender. Mobility justice.
| Challenges 1 | Urban regeneration. Affordable housing and re-densification. Peripheral centralities. Local economy. Proximity agriculture.
| Challenges 2 | Territorial and medium distance mobilities (public transport, bikes & micromobility). Commuting to work.
| Challenges 3 | Proximity planning across city scales. Urban-rural relationships, service proximity in rural environments.
| Tools 1 | Policy & planning tools for proximity. Public participation. Digitalization.
| Tools 2 | Accessibility metrics.
