Call for Papers

In the context of the Urban Co-Creation Data Lab project, a workshop on urban analytics to address cities' challenges is being organized to be held next July in Lisbon. 

The Urban Co-Creation Data Lab project aims to provide support on decision making at the city level on high-quality services for citizens in five city domains, namely:

1. Micro mobility: by supporting new planning and management approaches altogether with new tools to evaluate the impact and predict micro-mobility services demand;
2. Waste management: by identifying profiles/patterns and prediction of urban waste production;
3. Parking: by anticipating the occurrence of abusive parking to optimize surveillance;
4. Pollution: by developing simulation models of liquid and air pollutants propagation;
5. Emergency: by exploring the causes and creating predictive models that could predict emergency occurrences.

The main goal of this workshop is to share knowledge and best practices on urban analytics in these research areas. 

In this workshop the analytical models developed and deployed in Lisbon, and tested in two EU cities, will be presented.

If you are a researcher working in one or more of these five areas, we invite you to submit a paper to be presented in this workshop.
