Practical Case Examples

Call for practical case example abstracts opens soon and closes on April 30, 2026.

We welcome presentations on good practices and practical case examples at the conference. Actors from the public sector, businesses, and organizations are invited to share practical examples of their experiments and successes in the field of regional and urban development. These examples do not need to be based on scientific research, but they can come from hands-on experience and real-world practice.

Practical case examples are submitted under the conference themes. Presentations can be about, for example, the following topics: What scalable solutions help cities achieve resilience and long-term sustainability? How can environmental goals and business be combined in a profitable way? What digitalization methods can be used to promote sustainable built environment? How can participatory design improve the planning of smart and sustainable cities?

Abstracts for practical case examples will be reviewed for acceptance. Abstract should present the case in a clear and concise way, and highlight experiences that are useful for other cities and regions.
