Ninth International Conference on Innovation in Urban and Regional Planning – INPUT 2016, 14-15 September, Castello del Valentino, Turin

"The Conference represents an opportunity to provide innovative and original contribution to the ongoing debate on the Innovation and the use of ICT in planning, management and evaluation issues and to improve the process of knowledge acquisition, by means of the development of new techniques and methods. This Ninth Edition, starting from an open and critical view of the smart city paradigm, aims at raising a comprehensive spectrum of new and interdependent problems showing a multidisciplinary character and extends the horizon over which the urban growth strategies and, more generally, the regional development strategies are defined.
