Call for Papers
Accessibility is a complex concept: its definition and methodological development needs a multidimensional approach. In this meeting, a special focus will be devoted to the use of accessibility-related concepts as a framework/tool able to support policy making and spatial planning. Thus, this meeting will gather in a friendly atmosphere scholars coming from a number of disciplines and countries and being invited to contribute to the debate about recent developments on the study of accessibility. We also encourage the discussion of research project ideas and proposals.
