for Papers & Special Session (Deadline for
abstracts: September 1, 2014) EASAF
research laboratory in cooperation with IPAPE research group aims to hold a two
day conference focusing on “Dynamics of Space” as part of a series of
international conferences with the theme of “Urbanism and Spatial Mobility”. We
invite all researchers working in this field to submit their work. The
conference is also open to special session proposals which highlight important
research directions within the given context. Spatial
mobility is a way of organizing space. Mobility of all sorts and scales,
whether related to transportation, information and knowledge, economy or
energy, transcends boundaries and represents the mobile spatial dynamics in
what is referred to as networked societies, frequently described by words such
as flows and relations. A relational approach to territory can help understand
the changes, an approach that integrates the realities of mobility not in
territories based on proximity but rather on relationships that links places. In
this context, the aim of the conference is to discuss the newest findings
regarding the theme in terms of both theoretical researches and case studies in
order to create an understanding of, and debate issues related to, dynamics of
space. |
