AUM2017
AUM2017 is the sixth in a planned series of annual symposia on applied urban simulation models that offer insights into urban change and the realisation of practical policy initiatives. Since the launch of the AUM series in 2011, the symposia have attracted delegates from diverse disciplines, universities, professional institutions and government agencies in many countries.

CSIC Emerging Connections Workshop
This year a CSIC workshop on Emerging Connections: tomorrow’s cities and their infrastructure will comprise the second day of AUM2017. This workshop is hosted by Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) and is part of CSIC’s 'Transitioning Cities' programme sponsored by the Ove Arup Foundation.
This workshop will focus on the challenges of integrating the diversity of approaches endemic to the wide range of disciplines and professions involved in managing and designing our cities and urban spaces. In a world where big data is becoming ubiquitous, our traditional professional and academic silos are not appropriate to address the challenges of designing interventions that meet the needs of diverse urban citizens. We approach these challenges of through a small number of focussed workshop sessions, each including 2-3 presentations and ample time for discussion and participation.
