The City as Network: Reimagining Urban Infrastructure
Организаторы приглашают студентов представить идеи переосмысления городской инфраструктуры в эпоху цифровизации, климатических и социальных перемен.
В центре внимания – взаимосвязь между «физическими» сооружениями, данными, сообществами и окружающей средой. Участникам предлагается исследовать, как город может работать подобно сети: гибко, устойчиво, с ориентацией на человека и его потребности.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZER
We believe a strong collaboration among infrastructure stakeholders is vital for creating a sustainable society. Over the past four years, Vauban Infrastructure Partners has collaborated with the academic-driven consultancy firm Altermind to enhance its ‘thought leadership’ strategy and produce a series of reports. These reports were accompanied by several workshops with the participation of leading infrastructure stakeholders including asset operators, investors, experts, start-ups, policymakers, and others. InfraVision aims to extend the reach of our research & discussions to a wider audience, to build strong positions on forward-looking and hot topics related to infrastructure.
A dynamic platform for research, dialogue and innovation.
At its core, InfraVision rests on two pillars: thought leadership and knowledge sharing. It will focus on anticipating future infrastructure needs by analyzing the impact of the biggest changes in the world economy, such as demographic shifts, technological advancements, and environmental and social challenges, with the support of the whole infrastructure ecosystem.
