Track2Training International Conference on Urban Growth Simulation and GIS Applications

Track2Training International Conference on Urban Growth Simulation and GIS Applications

📅 Date: 21 March 2025
📍 Mode: Online (Virtual Conference)
🎯 Theme: Harnessing GIS and Simulation Models for Sustainable Urban Development

About the Conference

Urban areas around the world are undergoing rapid transformation, leading to challenges in infrastructure, environment, and sustainable development. Accurate simulation of urban growth patterns, combined with advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, is becoming essential for informed decision-making, effective urban planning, and policy formulation.

The Track2Training International Conference brings together leading researchers, planners, GIS professionals, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss innovations, research findings, and real-world applications of Urban Growth Simulation and GIS technologies.

This conference will provide a platform for presenting cutting-edge research, exchanging ideas, and fostering collaborations to shape future cities.

Conference Objectives

  • Explore urban growth simulation models such as CA-ANN, SLEUTH, and agent-based modeling.
  • Discuss integration of GIS tools in urban planning and environmental management.
  • Share successful case studies from developing and developed countries.
  • Highlight data-driven decision-making for sustainable city growth.
  • Promote collaboration between academia, government, and industry in GIS-based urban planning.

Key Topics

  1. Urban Growth Simulation Models – CA-ANN, cellular automata, machine learning, and predictive models.
  2. GIS Applications in Urban Planning – Spatial analysis, mapping, and decision support systems.
  3. Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) Change Detection.
  4. Smart City Planning and GIS.
  5. Environmental Impact Assessment using GIS.
  6. Case Studies – Successful urban growth simulations in cities like Indore, Delhi, and Bhopal.
  7. Policy Implications and Governance in Urban Development.
