All the remaining papers (not peer-reviewed) will be included in the Congress proceedings.

Themes

The theme will explore the current state of evolving world urban morphology, encompassing the following subthemes:

• classical and innovative theoretical concepts of the redevelopment and revitalisation of spatial structures; the discussion of terminology (renewal, regeneration, reconstruction, restoration, decomposition, restructuring, etc.)
• methods of research of the transformation processes of settlement spatial structures (based on: Conzenian and Muratorian schools of urban morphology, Space Syntax etc.) and their application
• decision-making factors and political, legal and administrative conditions for redevelopment and renewal of the urban tissue
• social and cultural determinants of spatial redevelopment and regeneration (including social participation and conflicts, structural changes, cultural diversity, quality of life, etc.)
• economical, functional and infrastructural changes and their impact on the renewal processes (from global to local scale), including the spatial transformations of post-industrial cities
• directions of change in the historic urban structures (problems of preserving, protecting and various forms of use; the different approaches to the revitalisation of historical city centers and suburbs, issues of sustainability and resilience of urban structures)
• practical architectural and urban solutions; planning and design of the public and open space using selected examples and comparative approaches
