Commentary paper: the stories of cities go well beyond the researcher’s perspective. We want to hear informed commentary from citizens, city leaders and other stakeholders who want to ensure their future cities have a high quality of life. We would like factual commentaries that effectively and meaningfully shed light on either the topics of this conference or anything that you, as a city stakeholder, consider worthy of discussion.
The commentary paper should have a short meaningful title, an abstract of 50 words or less, no more than 35 references, and one or two figures (with figure legends) or tables.
