2nd International Conference on Inclusive Cities

This conference seeks to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration between researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community members to explore the capacity of the state to achieve inclusive cities. We believe that by bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, we can identify innovative solutions and strategies to help cities become more inclusive and equitable places to live, work and play.

Overall, this conference aims to promote an understanding of the complex dynamics of cities and provide a platform for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and best practices on inclusive cities. Papers that address specific case studies and practical examples of inclusive city initiatives, policies, and programs are highly encouraged. We also look forward to papers that examine the challenges and barriers that cities face in creating inclusive environments, such as lack of funding, political will, or community engagement. Furthermore, papers that discuss the role of  technology and data in promoting inclusivity and examine the intersectionality of various marginalized groups, such as race, class, gender, and disability, are highly welcomed.

At Inclusive Cities 2023, we would like to highlight the following main sub-themes:

• Inclusive economy
• Inclusive education
• Inclusive health system
• Inclusive cities and built environment
• Technology and data to promote inclusivity
• Governance and institutions in promoting inclusivity
• Climate change and environmental degradation on inclusivity
