International Research Seminar in Urbanization Processes and Natural Morphologies

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 1st International Research Seminar in Urbanization Processes and Natural Morphologies, which will take place in September 7th-8th, 2017.

The aim of this seminar is to promote the shared reflection about current researches in the urban area, landscape architecture and other spatial disciplines, as well as to stimulate an exchange between researchers in urban and territorial processes and transformations in different countries.

The seminar will feature four main lectures, held by the International Scientific Committee members, in line with the research approach of Prof. Dr. Maider Uriarte Idiazabal (1981-2016). On the other hand, there will be research paper presentations and round tables composed by keynote lecturers. We invite researchers who are developing master courses, doctoral or post-doctoral programs to participate and discuss their investigations and to share different analysis perspectives and case studies, in order to create a shared thinking space around city and territory.

Topics:

-         Urban Fringe Landscapes

-         Urbanism and Landscape in mountainous areas

-         Methodologies and tools for Regional Planning
