LAME Lab participated at the end of the year 2014 in Caserta a UNESCO Cultural Heritage site in the region of Campania, 40 km north of Naples) at the Urban Thinkers Campus, an international meeting focuse on "The city we need". The Urban Thinkers Campus was an initiative of UN-Habitat in association with the Universal Forum of Cultures of Naples and Campania. The Campus was aimed to gather urban thinkers, philosophers, writers, journalists, bloggers, urban planners and designers, city leaders and decision-makers, industry leaders, urban entrepreneurs, communication and marketing specialists, and all those interested in urban infrastructure, technologies, standards, urban trends, and dynamics.

The Urban Thinkers Campus is part of the discussion of the global community of urban thinkers process that goes towards a New Urban Agenda , further step towards the third United Nations Conference on housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III.

LAME Team contributed in the URBAN THINKERS SESSIONE & URBAN LABS:
 
Room: 5 Urban Lab:
Advanced Local Energy Planning and Underground Space Utilizations: Suitable and Feasible Solutions for Future Sustainable and Resilient Cities
Organizations: Politecnico di Torino, Association Research Centers for the UrbanUnderground Space (ACUUS)

In 2050, it is expected that more than two-third of global population will be living in cities. The expansion of urban areas together with the growing expectations for better quality services/infrastructures will drive demand for smart city solutions. Energy planning is an effective solution towards these goals: instruments to support decision makers in understanding how existing and planned policies influence energy consumptions are fundamental. The topics that will be covered include: Energy, buildings, and urban forms; underground space as a resource for metropolitan areas; integrated master plans for above- and under-ground; and local energy planning for low-carbon cities.

Documents:
