Living and Walking in Cities

The LWC International Conference is organised by CeSCAM (the Friendly City Study Centre for Safety Mobility) of the University of Brescia, Italy. The LWC International Conference traditionally deals with the topics of urban mobility and quality of life in urban areas, with a specific focus on vulnerable road users. The LWC Conference allows researchers, experts, administrators, and practitioners to gather and discuss policy issues, best practices and research findings from different perspectives: transport planning, urban planning and their synergic integration into urban mobility planning.
