In a world of increasing specialization and fragmentation, we need both experts and ‘integrators.’ The concept of REAL CORP to bring together experts and ‘integrators’ from different fields and encourage discussions from different points of view is great."
Alfonso Vegara, Dr., President of ISoCaRP – International Society of City and Regional Planners;President Fundación Metrópoli, Madrid, Spain
“Research is international and interdisciplinary today and it needs the exchange of ideas and experiences between different disciplines and approaches. CORP is the ideal conference for this international, interdisciplinary discussion of actual research.”
Vassily Popovich, Prof. Dr., Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of Object-Oriented GIS Laboratory, St. Petersburg, Russia
“Digital Cities is a new perspective that will change the way city administrators and citizens work and live their lives. The technologies involved underlie the cost-effective realization of:
– A service-oriented city administration,
– Savings in communication,
– Improved health services at lower cost,
– More efficient and quicker reaction by public safety services,
– Crime reduction,
– Higher quality education,
– Improved transportation,
– New tourist services, and
– an improved business environment
In summary, I support Digital Cities and events like CORP that work towards making the vision a reality because it is about improving everyday life.”
