The day after our TWG3 seminar, described in this page, below, you can also participate in the UERA Seminar and General Assembly. You may submit an abstract (with a different CfP) to the seminar taking place on the 22nd February.

Within the framework of the ACUTE (Accessibility and Connectivity knowledge hub for Urban Transformation in Europe) and UERA TWG Urban Accessibility and Connectivity, a particular interest is given to the issues of accessibility and connectivity, especially in the context of 15-minute-city urban model, for both goods and people.

The contributors from academia and practice are invited to orally present their projects, discuss them and share their latest results and methods within the fields of Accessibility and Connectivity of the 15-minute-city:

• Accessibility as a long term academic and operational concept

• 15-minute-city as a renewing of accessibility planning approaches with temporal urbanism

• 15-min-city, or X-min-city in the urban outskirts

• The social dimension in the design and implementation of the 15-min-city

• TOD and 15-minute-city

• Time-based planning of cities

• Accessibility and Sustainable mobility, the transport modes of 15-min-city

• Inclusive design and development of 15-min-cities

• Assessing the 15-min-city

The time allowed for each oral presentation would be 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of discussion. An open debate may be held at the end of the session. Presenters can use PowerPoint or PDF presentations as supporting material

The seminar goals and specificities, as a scientific seminar open to practitioners, consist in:

• Developing the academic knowledge on the themes of Urban Accessibility and Connectivity

• Developing a European-wide scientific community

• Developing the access of practitioners to academic knowledge

• Favouring networking between participants
