2022 International Symposium on Urban Aging Planning & Elderly Travel Issues, Beijing China (March 6 2022)
Symposium Chair
CHEN Yanyan，Prof. Beijing University of Technology
CHEN Yanyan received the Ph.D. degree from the School of Civil Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 1997. From 2004 to 2005, she was a Visiting Scholar with the Center for Transport Studies, Imperial College London, London, U.K. She is currently a Professor with the College of Metropolitan Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China. Her current research interests include traffic big data, transportation planning and management, intelligent transportation, system simulation, and network optimization.
The International Community of Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development, China Thinktank of Metropolitan Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, and Kanazawa University will jointly organize the 2022 International Symposium on Urban Aging Planning & Elderly Travel Issues in the form of online conference in March 6th, 2022 to share the latest research ideas and successful case studies around the topic of ‘Smart planning & emerging technology for dealing with urban population aging’.
Background
Population aging has become a global problem affecting future social development. The United Nations Population Division projects that the population over the age of 60 years will increase to more than 2 billion in 2050 (representing 22% of the world population). Comparing with other area, the denser population, longer life expectancy, and decreasing fertility rate make large cities more sensitive to the population aging. And the complex urban environment result in diverse issues emerged in the elderly’s daily life. Thus, most of the governments have started to invest more public resources in urban elderly-suitable renovation. However, it is obvious that the diversity and complexity of these issues make them difficult to be solved by the knowledge from any single disciplines.
Therefore, to further promote the exploration, theoretical research and technological innovation of issues related to urban aging planning & elderly travel, the International Community of Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development, China Thinktank of Metropolitan Transportation, Beijing University of Technology, and Kanazawa University will jointly hold the 2022 International Symposium on Urban Aging Planning & Elderly Travel Issues. The symposium will invite representatives of relevant departments, industry colleagues, and academic researchers to share their views, research findings and practical experiences around the above-mentioned topic. Meanwhile, the abstract submissions are also welcomed to the Symposium. We aim to integrate multi-disciplinary knowledge such as urban planning and traffic engineering, and to explore the issues of urban aging planning and elderly travel from multiple aspects including theory, technology, and design.
Topic
This Symposium aims to gather high-quality research and typical case studies to deepen our understanding of smart planning and emerging technology for urban aging planning and elderly travel issues. Besides, it’s also welcomed to share the observed issues and relevant thinking for the elderly urban life. Potential topics include but are not limited to the followings:
1. Novel concept and practical experience of smart planning for elderly facilities.
2. Elderly-suitable renovation of urban space and transportation system.
3. Latest approaches and technology for promoting the quality of the elderly’s urban life.
4. Perception and analysis of the elderly’s spatiotemporal behavior.
5. New viewpoint and illuminating discussion about the urban issues and transportation problems caused by population aging.
Call for Abstract
You are cordially invited to present your work by submitting an abstract. The official language of the symposium is English. Please submit your title, abstract and keywords in both Chinese and English (No word limit). In addition, presenter’s photo and biography in Chinese and English should be included. Please send your submission as an e-mail attachment to lchen@bjut.edu.cn, spsdpress@gmail.com or use the registration form.
The abstract submission deadline is January 31, 2022. The result of abstract selection will be informed in middle February 2022. After the symposium, the high-quality research recognized by academic committee will be recommended as journal articles to International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (ESCI, SCOPUS).
If you are presenter, please use our form to registration.
