The topic of this edition was The emergence of the Smart City: stakes, challenges, practices and impacts for public governance. The 2019 Symposium and ADIMAP focused on the emergence of smart cities and the managerial, technological, organizational, socio-economic and geographical changes brought about by the complexity of the stakes and the challenges to be addressed concerning urban development in the future.

The tenth version of this event was dedicated to the research and discussion of study results related to this topic. Visit the Call for papers sections for more information on the topics and read the message from the President and founder to discover more about the event.

The work of the symposium took place in Luxembourg at the Belval Innovation Campus, a symbolic site due to the changes it brought about in Luxembourg and the border region, which enabled the emergence of this research centre from a former industrial wasteland.

Two Luxembourgish scientific institutions have joined forces for the event: the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
