健康城市2019—东亚地区的城镇化、基础设施以及日常生活
University of Manchester, 1-3 May 2019
Confirmed Keynotes: Prof Em Clara Greed (UWE), Dr Christoph Luthi (EAWAG), Prof Nikolas Rose (King's), Dr Farhana Sultana (Syracuse)
Convenors: Dr Deljana Iossifova, Dr Alison Browne (University of Manchester)
This conference invites contributions concerned with the design, planning, implementation, maintenance and use of urban infrastructures (including, but not limited to, sanitation, transportation, health care and education); the social meanings underpinning infrastructural systems and their processes; wider environmental effects; and their human well-being outcomes (public health in particular).
We are interested in systems approaches and perspectives that take into account multiple scales (from the human body to the global climate), critical resources and human social systems to understand and address urban infrastructure challenges.
Whilst we are particularly interested in studies of East Asia, we welcome contributions on experiences or comparative studies from other regions, where they fit with the conference themes. Bursaries for final year PhD students and Early Career Researchers (within three years of their PhD) are available on a competitive basis.
Abstract submission deadline is 30 September 2018. For more information and to submit an abstract, visit the conference website: www.healthycities2019.com
