Overview
Inaugurated at the World Cities Summit 2022, the Science of Cities Symposium aims to bring together international academic researchers, urban practitioners and industry experts to share their scientific knowledge, novel research methodologies and insights on tackling current and emerging urban challenges. The Symposium also includes the Science of Cities Poster Exhibition, featuring innovative research projects submitted by the Research Community.
Through high quality presentations and panel discussions on the use of science and technologies for cities, the Symposium will connect scientific theories to urban practice, spur fruitful discussions, raise awareness of the latest developments in the application of science of cities in planning and governance domains and strengthen the community of practice. Researchers will also have the opportunity to publish the selected project as a paper in the International Journal on Smart and Sustainable Cities, co-published by World Scientific Publishing Company and CLC.
The Science of Cities Symposium is conducted annually, in conjunction with the World Cities Summit (WCS) on even-years, and with the Urban Solutions & Sustainability (USS) R&D Congress on odd-years. There is no USS R&D Congress in 2025. The next Science of Cities Symposium will be held at the World Cities Summit 2026.
