[apologies for cross-posting] International Conference Visuality 2017: Tourism vs Urban Heritage in a Creative City VGTU, Faculty of Creative Industries http://visuality.vgtu.lt/index.php/visuality/2017 The Organizing Committee is glad to inform you that the Call for Papers of the 6th conference on visuality and 3th conference on tourism vs heritage “Visuality 2017: Tourism vs Urban Heritage in a Creative City” is open. Introduction According to C. Landry, R. Florida and other scholars, a creative city values cultural heritage and attracts tourists. Visual treasures attract people. Unfortunately, a large flow of short-term tourists increases noise, pollution and even crime. Heritage and tourism appear as two uncoordinated strategies instead of two sides of the same trend. This contradiction puzzles urban policy makers. It hurts a city’s image. A lack of clear direction in a city’s development is a bad signal for investors. What visual ecology could make sense of these dilemmas? What should the policy of a creative city be with regard to the tensions between tourism and urban heritage? How do we conceive and visualize a creative city in the face of these contradictions? Which multimedia technologies are most promising for solution of creative city problems? Key Areas -The concept of creative city -Visual heritage in a creative city -Tourism as an aspect of a creative city -Visual ecology in a creative city -Multimedia technologies in a creative city Keynote Speakers Prof. Dr Sofia Avgerinou Kolonias, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Prof. Dr Algis Mickunas, Ohio University, USA Dr Architect Luis Moreira Pinto, UBI university, Covilhã, Portugal Prof. Dr Reaes Pinto, Lusiada University, Lisbon, Portugal Prof. Dr Farouk Y.
