LIVABLE CITIES - NEW YORK is conference covering architecture, design, planning, health, technology, urban economics and social policy. It is calling for contributions to specific strands of sustainability, resilience, design, planning and construction. 

These strands seek to explore issues related to net-zero energy buildings, sea defenses and strategic retreat, life cycle analysis in the construction industry, Building Environmental Assessment methods, EcoHomes, BREEAM, alternative energy generation in cities, material science and much more.  

The conference is organized across departments at City Tech (City University of New York) with Amps and publication support from Routledge and UCL Press. 



CALL SUMMARY

What makes a city livable? Transport, housing, health and environment. Matters of culture, entrepreneurship, crime and safety. Affordability and education. Depending on whose ‘livability index’ you look at, it may include design quality, sustainability and the digital infrastructures of the smart city. Other criteria applied may encompass food access, job opportunities or walkability. Inclusivity and the politics of participation also come into play.

The past two decades have seen an exponential rise of livability measures. Reflecting increased urbanity globally, they risk making the notion of the city ever more contested. The two cities that host this event are cases in point. The Mercer Livability Ranking takes New York as the datum by which all other cities globally are graded – as better or worse. London, by contrast, measures itself: the London Assembly scoring everything from air quality to indices of deprivation. When we consider the livability of cities then, it is clear we are dealing with a plethora of issues – both isolated and, inevitably, interconnected.


Within this broad Livability framework, we seek to develop strands and publications around themes of the design and construction sectors – particularly as they relate to sustainability and resilience.
