Cities in Transition
The City Science Summit is an annual gathering of the City Science Network and other thought leaders in the fields of urban science, planning, computer science, policy and decision making, social sciences and rapid urbanization. We share research, present new projects and discuss our vision to create more livable, equitable and resilient communities. The City Science Summit consists of main stage presentations, breakout sessions, workshops, and demos.
This year we are pleased to announce that the Network will travel to visit our colleagues in Concepción, Chile on October 7, 8, and 9. We are programming a packed three-day event with all aspects of a summit you have grown used to. In addition, we plan to take full advantage of our visit with time outside and cultural activities.
