The background to this concerns effective integrated urban governance, that has proved to be a major challenge, and indeed a challenge too great for expert resolution alone. Accordingly, top-down expertise has increasingly sought the assistance of all stakeholders in a coalition of open governance that strives to respond effectively to the societal challenges of our time. The question for urban governance is extended from concerns to create a more integrated management of the territory, which has dominated the governance agenda for a generation, to a new emphasis on the means by which more participatory engagement can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>In this new landscape of integrated and participatory, open and co-created urban governance, opportunities to harness innovative social and technology solutions, derived directly from bottom-up engagement in the community, are driving expectations of a more effective policy implementation supported by the new legitimacy of the stakeholder coalition and community political capital. The interplay of social and technological innovation has the potential to transform the governance of our cities, as citizens are demanding more active engagement in the planning of their communities and the visioning of the future city. Technological innovation is providing new means of community engagement facilitating participation in planning as well as creating the potentials for the definition and delivery of more integrated solutions. The presentation will offer some of insights into the experience of European research and innovation projects concerning these dynamics of smart city governance, that is driving forward the agenda defining a new architecture for smart city governance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12:00PM \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Roundtable: W<\/strong><strong>hat can Baltimore learn from the keynote?\u00a0 What is Baltimore doing and what might it do to stimulate innovative and connective technologies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>12:45PM \u2013 2PM Lunch Break<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2PM-3:15PM <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Cross-site shared activities: SESSION A.

Students are key for meeting sustainability challenges of the future. How we prepare these students will affect how these challenges are understood and met. The Integrated Network for Social Sustainability can play a key role in creating conversations and opportunities around a vision of an integrated, interdisciplinary, and engaged sustainability. In the 2017 conference, we move towards this vision through a focus on how we can design engaged sustainability educational programs that reach beyond disciplines, campuses, and the three pillars.<\/p>\n<p>Panelists:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dan Fogel, Ph.D.<\/strong>, Former Director of the Sustainability Master Program at Wake Forest University and Immediate Past Chair of Charlotte Chamber of Commerce GreenWorks Council<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ming-Chun Lee, Ph.D.<\/strong>, Assistant Professor of Architecture, UNCC.

In everyday life, their features and performance is mostly transparent to the users and mainly taken for granted, although it is proven that they fail under stress. The Peruvian Communications Network, as others in the world, is reported to have failed when coping with abnormal increases in service demand such as the occurrence of a seismic event. This presentation introduces a set of measures and recommendations for adequate handling of Peru\u2019s communications network in case of a strong earthquake near Lima city using a hybrid network simulation methodology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>James Walker<\/strong>, Founder and CEO of Informative Technologies.
