City+2023 @ Perth: Geospatial Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Cities – Call for Abstracts
City+ research network is organising annual international conferences for early career researchers and PhD students on urban studies. The first event, City+ 2017 @ Cambridge, was launched at University of Cambridge, followed by City+ 2018 @ London at University College London, City+ 2019 @ Delft at Delft University of Technology, City+ 2021 @ Milan at Polytechnic University of Milan, and City+ 2022 @ Canberra at Australian National University. To date, our conferences have already attracted more than 320 delegates coming from many universities and institutions across countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. It has demonstrated its potential to be a good platform for sharing research experiences and thinking, developing cooperation opportunities, and addressing their urban concerns from multiple perspectives.
Our forthcoming conference, City+ 2023 @ Perth, will be held in October 2023 at Curtin University, an innovative, global university (Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, and Mauritius) known for its high-impact research, strong industry partnerships and commitment to preparing students for jobs of the future. The conference is hosted by the AI and Spatial Analysis Team of the School of Design and the Built Environment. We hope that City+ 2023 @ Perth can facilitate young researchers to work closely at the forefront of urban studies through disseminating their research, receiving valuable feedback, expanding academic networks and boosting potential collaborations.
