SUMMARY:IX ISUF‑H CONGRESS 2025: "Cities and Human Rights: Urban Form for Spatial Justice"
DESCRIPTION:The IX ISUF-H Congress 2025 continues the series of conferences organized by the Spanish and Latin American Network of Urban Morphology (ISUF-H)\, which brings together scholars and professionals from across the fields of architecture\, urban planning\, geography\, sociology\, and related disciplines. Founded in 2015\, ISUF-H is part of the broader International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF)\, established in 1994\, which promotes the interdisciplinary study of urban form through international collaboration and annual congresses. \nThe 2025 edition\, hosted in Mexico City\, is titled “Cities and Human Rights: Urban Form for Spatial Justice”. It focuses on the role of urban morphology in addressing contemporary social and territorial challenges\, with a particular emphasis on human rights. Recognizing the city as both a space of opportunity and inequality\, the congress invites reflection on how urban form can serve as a foundation for more just\, inclusive\, and resilient environments—especially in contexts shaped by precariousness and rapid urbanization\, such as those found throughout Latin America. \nThe congress proposes five thematic panels that examine the links between spatial justice and urban form through a variety of lenses: from metropolitan rights and gender equity\, to citizen agency and emerging urban configurations. By engaging these themes\, the event aims to contribute to the collective development of critical approaches\, planning tools\, and research methodologies capable of responding to pressing urban challenges. \nThe IX ISUF-H Congress 2025 encourages inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue on how urban form intersects with the social production of space\, territorial governance\, and the everyday experience of cities. In doing so\, it seeks to strengthen the theoretical and applied dimensions of urban morphology as a field that actively shapes more equitable and sustainable urban futures. \nSelected papers will be considered for publication in associated academic journals\, and a digital proceedings volume will be made available following the event. \nKEY DATES\n\n9 December 2024 – Call for Papers published\n15 April 2025 – Submission of abstracts of presentations and posters  (updated date)\n15 May 2025 – Notification of accepted abstracts and posters (updated date)\n31 July 2025 – Deadline for submission of full papers\nFrom 15 May 2025 – Registration and payment open (updated date)\n1 September 2025 – Full conference programme published\n30 October 2025 – Final list of papers accepted for publication\n3–5 December 2025 – IX ISUF-H Congress\, Mexico City\n6 December 2025 – Guided tour of the Central Campus\, UNAM

SUMMARY:PNUM2025 - 13th Conference of the Lusophone Network of Urban Morphology: "Beyond Form: Territory and Societal Challenges"
DESCRIPTION:The 13th PNUM Conference 2025 continues the series of events organized by the Lusophone Network of Urban Morphology (PNUM)\, which has been active since 2010 in the fields of architecture\, urban planning\, engineering\, geography\, history\, and related disciplines. This network is part of a broader initiative called the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF)\, which began in 1994 and has held annual itinerant seminars since 1997. In 2011\, these events started taking place in Portugal\, and since 2015 they have alternated years between Portugal and Brazil\, fostering the study of urban form within the Lusophone context. \nThe 2025 edition focuses on urban form in light of the growing challenges faced by territories\, particularly those related to social\, environmental\, and technological issues. Acknowledging the importance of addressing urban morphology to enhance the overall quality of built environments\, the conference emphasizes the need to strengthen its connection with other key areas essential for urbanization\, such as socio-territorial cohesion\, urban “ecologization\,” and digital transition. These and other aspects form a framework for planning based on inclusion\, innovation\, and intelligent habitat design\, where urban form serves as the common ground for the collective construction of territory. \nThe 13th PNUM Conference 2025 aims to bring urban morphology closer to territorial planning by deepening knowledge on how to address—through and within urban forms—analyses\, guidelines\, principles\, strategies\, approaches\, methodologies\, and solutions for the myriad societal challenges affecting humanized contexts\, from climate change to artificial intelligence. The goal is to expand and strengthen\, through inter- and transdisciplinary approaches\, the articulation of urban morphology with other fields of knowledge that focus on how individuals and communities organize and experience shared living spaces\, places\, and landscapes. \nSelected articles will be published in the Urban Morphology Journal (RMU)\, and a proceedings book for the 13th PNUM Conference 2025 will also be produced. \nKEY DATES: \n\n28 January 2025: Deadline for abstract submission\n 31 March 2025: Feedback on abstracts/notification for development into full papers for accepted abstracts\n19 May 2025: Deadline for full paper submission\n9 June 2025: Feedback on papers and decision on possible revisions\n5 May 2025: Deadline for Early registration\n6 May – 2 June 2025: Regular registration period\n25\, 26\, and 27 June 2025: 13th Conference of the Lusophone Network of Urban Morphology “Beyond Form: Territory and Societal Challenges”\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION

SUMMARY:TNUM2025 - 5th Biennial Conference of the Turkish Network of Urban Morphology: "From Organism Towards Habitat"
DESCRIPTION:The 5th Biennial Conference of the Turkish Network of Urban Morphology (TNUM) continues the tradition of bringing together researchers and practitioners to explore the field of urban morphology. TNUM\, established in 2014 during the Founding Workshop at Mersin University\, has since organized a series of impactful symposiums across Türkiye. These events have been held at Mersin University (2015)\, Istanbul Technical University (2018)\, Middle East Technical University (2021)\, and Konya Technical University (2023)\, contributing to scholarly collaboration and expanding international ties through the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF). \nThe 2025 edition\, hosted by Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) in Trabzon\, with the contributions of KTU Urban and Regional Planning Department and KTU Architecture Department\, takes the theme “From Organism Towards Habitat: Continuity-discontinuity\, destruction-construction\, rupture-occupation” This theme emphasizes the dynamic interplay between urban forms and broader societal\, ecological\, and spatial challenges. By focusing on the transformation of settlements into complex\, multi-layered habitats\, the conference aims to address critical issues such as climate change\, global warming\, migration\, conflicts\, and the evolution of urban spaces. It seeks to build connections between urban morphology and vital areas such as socio-territorial cohesion\, ecological resilience\, and adaptive urban planning. \nThe 5th TNUM Conference aspires to bridge the gap between urban morphology and territorial planning\, providing a platform for deepening analyses\, strategies\, methodologies\, and innovative solutions. Through interdisciplinary approaches\, the conference will explore how urban form can respond to contemporary challenges\, fostering inclusive\, sustainable\, and intelligent urban development. Participants will engage in discussions about the relationship between morphology and societal dynamics\, ecological balance\, and digital advancements\, framing urban form as a cornerstone for the collective construction of sustainable territories. \nSelected papers from the symposium will be considered for publication in esteemed journals\, including LivenARCH+ (LIVable ENvironments and ARCHitecture+ Journal)\, DRArch (Journal of Design for Resilience in Architecture and Planning)\, and MAD (Mekânsal Araştırmalar Dergisi – Spatial Research Journal). Proceedings of the symposium will also be published. \nKEY DATES: \n\nJanuary 13\, 2025: Deadline for abstract submission\nJune 18\, 2025: Deadline for full paper submission\nFebruary 7\, 2025: Feedback on abstracts/notification for development into full papers for accepted abstracts\nMay 12-14\, 2025: Conference dates\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION

SUMMARY:PNUM 2024 Belém - Morfologias (re)existentes: Identidades\, vivências e processos
DESCRIPTION:The PNUM is the international meeting of the Lusophone Network of Urban Morphology\, which has been active since 2010\, covers 15 countries and disciplinary fields such as Architecture and Urbanism\, Urban Planning\, Engineering\, Geography\, and History\, and is part of a broader network called ISUF – International Seminar on Urban Form. ISUF has been around since 1994 and has held annual traveling seminars since 1996. In 2012\, the PNUM seminars began in Portugal\, and from 2014\, they also started taking place in Brazil in alternate years\, to promote the study of urban form in the Lusophone context\, with the expectation of future conferences in African countries (Cape Verde\, Mozambique\, and Angola). This edition aims to place morphological analyses in peripheral contexts that have been subject to some form of colonization\, and/or where there is high informality and socio-environmental conflicts\, presenting them as an alternative for the identification\, classification\, analysis\, and representation of built spaces when no data series or documentation is available. \nKEY DATES: \n\n31 March 2024 – Submission of the extended abstract\n15 May 2024 – Notification of acceptance\n31 May 2024 – Early registration deadline\n30 August 2024 – Registration deadline\n11 – 13 September 2024 – 2ª Conferência Internacional da Rede Lusófona de Morfologia Urbana\n31 October 2024 – Deadline for full paper submission\n\n\nMORE INFORMATION
