‘Use of 3D City Models in E-Government for Sustainable Urban Governance’

The workshop focuses on the use of 3D city models in e-government for sustainable urban governance. The aim is to bring together research, experiences and case studies of 3D city models’ usage and applications in complex policy scenarios linked to urban governance. These should be in areas like housing, environment, tax compliance, infrastructure planning, rural/urban interactions, city marketing for public relations and tourism, etc.

We particularly welcome submissions developing a global perspective and/or focusing on conceptual contributions highlighting new applications. A limited number of excellent papers will be considered to be published in a journal special issue. Finally, this workshop will bring together state‐of‐the‐art perspectives from research and practice and an additional outcome from the closing discussion and related post workshop activities will be the identification of future research directions, possibly leading to joint research projects.

Length, Format and Topics for Papers and Extended Abstracts

The workshop will be a one day event and will take place on the 29th of August at the IFIP e-government conference hosted at the Delft University of Technology. We invite submissions of full papers (to be no longer than 5000 words) and extended abstracts (to be no longer than 2000 words).
