Upcoming conferences: CORP, Imagina

| Olaf Schroth

REAL CORP 2009

As Manfred Schrenk already had announced at the end of this year’s REAL CORP, the 14th International Conference on Urban Planning and Regional Development in the Information Society, won’t take place in Vienna but in the Design Centre Sitges, Spain. The Call for Papers is open now and details are available at http://www.corp.at/

IMAGINA

The Imagina is an event, focussing on the 3D visualization community in industry, architecture, media and entertainment. This year’s imagina could become interesting for researchers in urban and landscape planning as well because it focuses on the use of 3D in town and country planning. Among the speakers are officials from cities like Manchester, using 3D visualization already, and Prof. Dr. Thomas Kolbe, who will present on CityGML.
