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.

In order to be selected, abstracts should observe the following requirements:

• Min 200 and max 500 words, without any footnotes, formulas, tables, or graphics.

• Containing enough information about the research, the purpose, the methodology, principal results, and major conclusions to be drawn. Some background information on the research would be more than appreciated.

• Including the topic area to which the abstract refers.

• To be submitted in Word format only by EasyChair platform: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lwc2025

Abstracts will be selected through a “blind peer review” process. 

LWC Conference proceedings will be published in a Scopus-indexed International Publisher/Journal with ISBN and DOI, selected by the scientific committee. As with previous conferences, excellently selected papers will be published in special issues in relevant scientific journals (Scopus/WOS indexed and Class A).

As in the previous edition, the LWC Conference will award the best paper from each of the Conference Research Topics.

Only one presentation per speaker is allowed, and at least one registration is mandatory for the contribution to be included in the Conference Agenda. Only papers presented during the conference will be included in the conference proceedings.

The organization will be managed through the EasyChair platform.
