THE CONGRESS 'VIRTUAL CITY AND TERRITORY'
The Congress “Virtual City and Territory” is a project born in 2004 from an idea of Josep Roca Cladera, director of CPSV - Centro de Política y Suelo Valoraciones of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia with the aim of creating an euro-american permanent arena for discuss on development and use of new technologies in architecture, urban design, planning.
The ninth edition is entitled “ CITY MEMORY PEOPLE” and it is an opportunity to reflect on the “sense of place”, understood as a common thread for the various topics on which we apply a broad reflection: sustainable mobility and infrastructure, energy and smart cities, urban regeneration, archaeology, conservation, culture and environment, climate, citizenship and participation, health, public safety and urban policies.

The international congress will face three main themes: 

• CITY
Today talk of town is difficult, if not rather of several cities - as to exorcise the fact that the contemporary city risks to turn into a non-city. And perhaps in the same way we could talk about different suburbs. Cities in which, alongside new and old settlement patterns, we observe new and old mobility patterns, conditioned and conditioning. And where the continuous urban growth, due to the crisis, leaves more and more space to the recovery and regeneration – even energetic – of the existing town. 
The day is divided into four sessions that will focus on the themes of mobility patterns, urban regeneration, energy and virtual cities.

• MEMORY
Over the last decades, the claim for an idea of "permanence" focused on interactions between environmental and historic resources and lifestyles and habits has ledurban planning, landscape design practices and even historical disciplines to wonder about the legacy of the sense of place to future generations. Individual and collective perceptions of what we missed and what still remains are at stake, along with new learning experiences in history.
The idea of continuity goes far beyond the handling of physical remains, since it implies intangible Heritage as well.
How is sense of place changing under the pressure of new behavioral patterns ? how expert knowledge and common knowledge may contribute to the balance between continuity andinnovation? The axis is organized into four sessions, with a deep look over on-going experiences and material practices of framing memories within new shared geographies. Changing landscapes. Regenerating, re-using, re-inventing our living environment.

• PEOPLE 
The city is a physical space and, together, spatial relationship between the individual’s psyche and the “communitarian soul”, fertilized by culture.
A city, as tòpos of this relationship, allows resonances and correspondences between itsGenius Loci, as a sense of limit, and its people if it permits freedom, safety and the necessary creativity to express one's Self. And to "stay", not to emigrate elsewhere, and continue to live, to desire, to hope.
The day is divided into four sessions that will address the issues of sustainable tourism, citizenship, urban policy and migration and immigration.
