CORP2003 & GeoMultimedia03 25.2. - 1.3.2003, TU Wien GLOCALIZE.IT! www.corp.at & www.glocalize.it About CORP CORP Symposions are held annually since 1996 and have become a major european conference dealing with the impacts of information- and communication technologies on urban and spatial planning. New possibilties for using technology as planning and administrative support tools, perspectives of planning disciplines within the “information society” as well as “the future of geographical space” are presented and discussed.
Special topic 1: GLOCALIZE.IT The same goods in the same supermarket shelves from the North Cape to Fireland, the „business districts“ of cities around the globe are like two peas in a pod and the price for the global product “hamburger” provides information about the economic resources of a country. Also the dream of one's own home with garden is nearly everywhere alike. Do the meanings of local and regional characteristics completely disappear? Are they reduced to a few marketable folkloristic aspects? Or does the local and regional level even gain significance in the view of global and international developments? Is the slogan “think global, act local!” antiquated or more important than ever? The guidance topic of CORP2003 is a request: GLOCALIZE.IT! The discussion is up for the possibilities to act on local and regional level under the aspect of international and global developments, and the relationship of these aspects in the planning of the future. IT does not only stand for the request to act but also for the role of information and communication technologies in these processes.
Special topic 2: 4D CITY & LANDSCAPE MODELS 3D-models are permanently rising in popularity. More and more cities and tourism regions rely on the effects of 3D modelling. New techniques and fast hardware allow to produce stunning illustrations relatively cheap and quick. But do these improved visualisation opportunities really result in better plans and advantages in the development of cities and regions? Where are the real benefits of 3D modelling? And what about the time dímension for future plannings as well as for the past, i.e. for documentation and reconstruction of historical buildings? Do 4D City & Landscape Models already deploy all of their advantages?
Who should attend? CORP addresses key actors in management, administration, politics and consultants, planners, service providers, researchers and students involved in “spatial thinking”. CORP is an interdisciplinary event with participants coming from various fields, e.g. spatial planning, geography, economy, transport, computer science, architecture, humanities, etc. It is open for everyone with an interest in “geo-spatial relations”.
