Real Corp 2012
RE-MIXING THE CITY – Towards Sustainability and Resilience? Cities worldwide are facing rapid social, economic, environmental, technological and cultural changes such as: rapid urbanisation, aging of society, security issues, housing emergency, new solutions on mobility, integration of immigrants, food and water shortage, etc. It is necessary to think about how to best handle what we have. Therefore “RE-MIXING THE CITY” is a challenge to manage and re-combine the elements which make our modern cities in order to better respond to change. REAL CORP 2012 will offer the possibility to collectively discuss a wide range of topics in different panel groups and workshops: Can “mixed cities” be more sustainable and resilient? Living, working, learning, relaxing, enjoying, shopping, ... – anything anywhere & anytime? Is it the purpose of spatial planning to “sort land uses in space”? Do the urban patterns and structure of our cities still meet the needs of the people in their everyday life? How do urban, transport and environmental technologies and solutions shape our cities? New faces, new approaches, new ideas – does and can migration re-mix the city? Time-space patterns of the 24/7 city Urban, Transport & Environmental Technologies and Solutions Urban Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)/intelligent urban environments Resilience, Safety & Security

14-17 May. Quebec, Canada

Global Geospatial Conference 2012
The joint GSDI World Conference (GSDI 13), the 14th GEOIDE Annual Scientific Conference, the 7th 3DGeoInfo Conference , and the Canadian Geomatics Conference 2012 will take place in historic Québec City, Canada at the Québec City Conference Center in the heart of the city. Primary partners in organizing this conference include the GSDI Association and GEOIDE. Geographic information technologies and spatial data infrastructure play critical roles in allowing governments, local communities, non-government organizations, the commercial sector, the academic community and common people to make progress in addressing many of the world\\\\\\\'s most pressing problems. Further, use of spatial data in conjunction with mobile technologies is becoming pervasive within many nations. While mapping and spatial data infrastructure development was previously accomplished only by governments, this is no longer the case. All sectors of society are becoming spatially enabled and contributing to the development of the global spatial data infrastructure. Whether using hand-held devices incorporating phones, cameras, GPS, maps and location services or using sensors and wireless communications embedded within our homes, offices, stores, vehicles and along our travel paths, citizens are helping to build the next generations of spatial data infrastructure through their contributions of location and descriptive data.
This conference will explore the complementary roles of government, private industry and the academic community in realizing better means for sharing geographic data and technologies and developing improved location-based services for meeting real world needs.
