10th International Conference on
Cities, People, Places
Resilient Cities: Enabling conditions for life to thrive
November 8th & 9th , 2024
Colombo, Sri Lanka
Cities
"A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves" - Jan Gehl
People
"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace". - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Places
City is a place. It is also a collection of places. "A large part of what distinguishes place from space is that place has an intensity that connects sociality to spaciality in everyday life. We can say 'do you have enough space? but not 'do you have enough place? while a space may have physical dimensions, it is intensity that gives place its potency and its primacy". - Kim Dovey in 'Becoming Places'.

THEME
Life in cities has become more inconvenient than ever before, and this is bound to continue to happen due to urban population increases, economic crisis, energy demand, social inequality, health and safety concerns, environmental degradation, and climate change. Livability challenges derived from the aspects above have become worse due to the economic status of the post-pandemic era in each region of the world in different ways.
This conference proposes to examine the multi-faceted nature of developing resilient cities that enable conditions for convenient urban life: new approaches and future directions. It calls upon the academics and practitioners of urban studies to share their understanding of various approaches and mechanisms, both currently implemented and future potentials, in different contexts. We call upon all to share their experiences and enrich the current knowledge of achieving environmentally, socially, and economically resistant city building and its management based on urban resilience.
