Notice
The Lab of Interdisciplinary Spatial Analysis (LISA) is pleased to host the "International Forum on Zero-Carbon Commuting, Housing Mobility, and Spatial Equality: Challenges and Opportunities in the Post-Pandemic Era” at Newnham College, University of Cambridge.
The forum is part of a joint research project, “Between nudges and boosts: behavioural interventions for sustainable residential location decisions”, between Prof. Helen Bao from the Department of Land Economy (DLE), University of Cambridge and Dr. Jie Liu from the Northeast Forestry University of China. Funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, this project investigates the dynamics relationships among zero-carbon commuting, housing mobility, and spatial equality.
The forum will be chaired by Prof. Helen Bao, the PI of the joint project. Prof Jie Liu, the CI of the project, will join Prof Bao to report research findings at the forum. Beyond these research presentations, we are also delighted to welcome experts from related fields, new members of the DLE, and PhD students and visiting academics at Cambridge University. Our keynote speakers include the Editor-in-Chiefs of prestigious journals such as Cities and Habitat International, the Director of LISA and the Cambridge Real Estate Research Centre, and distinguished scholars who are advisors of OECD, European Commission and HM Government. This forum is not just an opportunity to present research findings; it is a platform for dialogue, networking, and collaboration. Established researchers will exchange ideas with early-career scholars, fostering an environment of mentorship and knowledge sharing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped our world in unprecedented ways, altering societal preferences, accelerating technology advances and adoptions, and raising new questions about resilience and adaptability. At the forum, we will share the lessons learned from the research activities during the pandemic and discuss the challenges and opportunities post-pandemic, with a particular focus on the practical implications of cutting-edge technologies such as LLM and AI, and the transformative potential of harnessing Big Data. Drawing on the insights of experts and the ideas of early-career researchers, we seek innovative solutions for zero-carbon commuting, housing mobility, spatial equality, and sustainable communities.
The forum is a free event without a registration fee. Lunch is included in the round-table discussion session on 1 Dec 2023 (12.30pm – 3pm). Place is limited due to room capacity. To register for the event, please use this link:
