International conference “Greening Modern Cities”
CONFERENCE DETAILS
We would like to invite you to the international conference “Greening Modern Cities”, which will accompany the 15th anniversary of our association.
The first day of the conference will include speaker sessions. For the second day of the conference a study tour is planned. Examples of green and blue-green infrastructure in the city of Warsaw will be presented that day.
The conference will be held in English.
The aim of the conference is to present:
- Good examples – the best examples of green and green-blue infrastructure on different continents
- The latest research findings
- Programmes supporting the promotion and implementation of green infrastructure
- The latest technologies in green and green-blue infrastructure
The conference is aimed at municipality workers, academics, architects and landscape architects, developers and contractors, experts in the green roof and green-blue infrastructure industry, journalists, students and everyone passionate about the subject.

Digital Landscape Architecture Conference DLA 2024
Virtual Hybrid, June 5 -7 2024 in Vienna
New Trajectories in Computational Urban Landscapes & Ecology
Sourse: https://2024.dla-conference.com/
We are delighted to announce the upcoming Digital Landscape Architecture Conference 2024 at TU Wien!
New Trajectories in Computational Urban Landscapes & Ecology
As our world experiences escalating interconnectivity and digital evolution, this conference aims to unveil transformative shifts in our approaches to urban landscapes and ecosystems.
Guided by the theme „New Trajectories in Computational Urban Landscapes & Ecology,“ we invite researchers, practitioners, and experts across various disciplines to share their insights and discuss research findings.
The conference aims to explore the fusion of advanced computational techniques with ecological principles.
This endeavor seeks to foster innovative discussions that contribute to the evolution of various fields, such as landscape architecture, urban planning, architecture, and ecology, thereby offering insights into potential advancements and collaborations that shape more sustainable and livable urban environments. Central to the conference theme is the exploration of the dynamic interplay between advanced computational techniques, data-driven design, and the intricate dynamics of urban ecosystems. By probing into this intersection, the conference endeavors to provide novel insights and methodologies that align technological innovation with the intricate needs of the natural environment.
The DLA 2024 is jointly organized by:
Research Department of Digital Architecture & Planning, TU Wien
Prof. Arch. DI Michael Hensel | Jakub Tyc M.Arch
Research Department of Landscape Architecture & Landscape Planning, TU Wien
Prof. Dr. sc. Susann Ahn | Prof. Dr.-ing. Thomas E. Hauck | Dr. Boris Salak
Important Dates
Join us at the Digital Landscape Architecture Conference 2024 and be a driving force in reshaping our urban environments for a sustainable future.
Save the Date: June 5 – 7, 2024 at TU Wien (address: Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Vienna, Austria.
What to Expect
Generative Design: Delve into the realm of computational design tools that empower architects, urban planners, and ecologists to collaboratively craft landscapes that strike a balance between aesthetics and ecological resilience, nurturing urban ecosystems.
Data-Driven Design and Modeling: Explore the pivotal role of data in informing design decisions across various disciplines, including landscape architecture, urban planning, and ecology. Gain insights into leveraging data for innovative design approaches that align with the needs of ecosystems and communities.
Urban Biodiversity: Delve into how technology can be harnessed to augment and sustain urban biodiversity, fostering a dynamic relationship between urban areas and the ecosystems they encapsulate.
Smart Cities and Green Infrastructure: Investigate how smart technologies can contribute to the development of sustainable, resource-efficient urban environments, emphasizing the well-being of both residents and ecosystems.
Modeling and Simulation: Experience the significance of modeling and simulation in predicting the outcomes of design choices on urban ecosystems. Experts will illustrate how these tools aid in constructing adaptable, resilient landscapes.
Who Should Attend?
The Digital Landscape Architecture Conference 2024 extends its embrace to landscape architects, urban planners, architects, ecologists, researchers, and technologists alike. This inclusive platform offers an opportunity for experts and newcomers to explore insightful perspectives, forge connections, and derive inspiration from the converging realms of technology and ecosystems in urban contexts.
Embark on this enriching journey that reshapes our understanding and strategies for coexistence with urban landscapes and ecosystems. Stay attuned for updates on keynote speakers, session specifics, and registration details. Together, let us mold a future where computational ingenuity, data-driven methodologies, and ecological mindfulness meld seamlessly, creating urban environments that stand as exemplars of sustainability, vibrancy, and ecological equilibrium.
We eagerly anticipate your presence at the Digital Landscape Architecture Conference 2024!
Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW and University and the city of Basel are planning a World Green Roof and Green Facade congress in Basel, 20th and 21st June 2024.
Local leaders play a crucial role in not only meeting global and European climate targets, but taking sustainability to the next level. In 2024, they will gather in Aalborg (Denmark) for the 10th edition of the European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns (ESCT) to discuss, share ideas, and bolster their role in guiding Europe towards a secure and sustainable future.
The 2024 conference will once again demonstrate the urgent need for local governments to assume responsibility for urban transformation and lead the way in guiding Europe towards a secure and sustainable future. This will be Aalborg’s third time hosting an ESCT conference; their first times led to the ground breaking Aalborg Charter (1994) and Aalborg Commitments (2004), both of which have been recognised as local sustainability milestones.
Join over 800 participants from local and regional governments, European and international institutions, multilateral organisations, the research community, businesses, and civil society to be part of the movement for transformational change. Mark your calendars now!
The 2024 edition of this flagship conference series on local sustainable development will build on the legacy of previous conferences including, most recently, the 2020 conference that led to the Mannheim Message. ESCT 2024 will continue to the call for core systemic changes and key policy shifts needed to bring about transformation for a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable Europe.
