CITIES FOR EVERYONE: Liveable, Healthy, Prosperous
Promising Vision or Unrealistic Fantasy?
The role of Urban Planning and Urban Technologies on the path towards improved Quality of Life, Health, Sustainability and Prosperity in our Cities

Cities are places of competition, stress, inequalities, traffic jams, environmental stresses and strains and permanent struggle. Cities often are an aggressive environment, not only for children, the elderly, the weak or the handicapped. But even more than that; cities are the centres of economy, culture, creativity, science and innovation and therefore provide the best perspectives and biggest chances for many people: CITIES ARE ATTRACTIVE!  Meanwhile more than 50 percent of the world population live in cities, soon it will be about 70 percent.
Some of the major aspects and questions to be dealt with are:

• Examples and Visions of “Liveable Cities for Everyone“
• Keeping Balance: Managing Complex Urban Infrastructures
• Housing and Real Estate perspectives, high tech & low cost housing
• Perspectives for Future Transport and Mobility
• Re-mixing Urban Fabric, Future Housing and Working Environments
• Urban and Environmental Technologies to Improve Quality of Life
• Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) in the Urban Context
• Healthy Cities/Health in Cities
• Safety and Security vs. Lack of Privacy and Total Surveillance
• Data, Information and Knowledge Infrastructures
• Understanding Cities: Tools and Technologies to support Decision Makers, Citizens and Experts in their Understanding of Cities
