Cities
"A good city is like a good party – people stay longer than really necessary because they are enjoying themselves" - Jan Gehl
People
"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace". - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Places
City is a place. It is also a collection of places. "A large part of what distinguishes place from space is that place has an intensity that connects sociality to spaciality in everyday life. We can say 'do you have enough space? but not 'do you have enough place? while a space may have physical dimensions, it is intensity that gives place its potency and its primacy". - Kim Dovey in 'Becoming Places'.

ICCPP e-Conference 2023
THEME
In this century, more people have moved to cities than ever before and this is bound to continue to happen. Living in cities offers seductive modern comforts although there are also inherent problems of overcrowding, polluted air, lack of nature and overwhelming presence of vehicles and machines. Today, these have become even more worsened and difficult with the emergence of health related issues such as the pandemics and epidemics. Some cities also face natural disasters as well as man-made issues such as wars, human conflicts and political instabilities. Economies are shrinking economies and high inflation rates are adding serious burdens to the urban communities.
