CITTA 2022: CITTA - 14th Anual Conference on Planning Research - Safe, Equitable and Just Communities Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto Porto, Portugal, June 17, 2022

The CITTA 14^th Annual Conference on Planning Research will debate on how spatial and transport planning theory and practice can help the society to protect itself from the risks of inequality by promoting social justice, well-being, trust, cohesion, and economic growth. The communities of the future should be resilient and connected, at both the urban and the rural scale, where social and spatial divides are addressed through responsive and transformative policies, and transport systems are integrated to promote sustainable, safe, and inclusive mobility. Particularly, we welcome contributions focused on (i) understanding the patterns, values, desires, needs, and behaviours associated with different communities and groups of population, (ii) stimulating community-led initiatives and public participation to assist policy- and decision-making and to ensure the success of these processes, (iii) delivering systematic outcome-driven approaches able to encompass and promote social welfare, trust, and fairness in the resolution of spatial planning and transport problems, and/or (iv) deriving policies and actions to bridge the gaps between innovation and societal changes. Submitted contributions should fall under at least one of the four conference topics.
