From the early computer on the table to the contemporary intelligent mobile devices on hand, it has been anticipated the significant change of the internet would be driven by the remarkable proliferation of mobile internet over the next ten-to-twenty years, which account for 67% mobile internet users of global population in 2019. As the rapid increasing number of internet user (Global Internet user penetration has exceeded 57% in 2019, and the internet user approximately 60% in China respectively), it will increasingly serve as the interface between people moving around on the virtual space and the physical world surrounding them. The peculiarity of the internet including timeless time and death of distance leads to a larger number of flows translated on the virtual space rapidly, such as flows of capital, flows of information and flows of organisational interaction, which spawning the new commercial models and economic paradigm. It is not only for integration and complementation of previous economic system, but also for the revolution to the grass-rooting deeply to reshape the global economy. The effect to economy and society under the mobile internet era will change the spatial form of urbanisation, reduce the dualistic structure system of urban and rural, reinforce the intensifies temporal and spatial considerations, but also be inevitable to face some challenges.
Therefore, The International Forum of Urbanism (IFoU), in partnership with the University Nanjing, China dedicate its 13th annual conference to analyse the challenges to the urbanisation, urban forms, urban-rural relations and urbanism under the mobile internet era. The meeting aims to explore the development paradigm in city and countryside, and find a sustainable solution of urbanisation in the rapid development of mobile internet Era.
The Nanjing conference will convene participants of scholars, advocates and policy makers to discuss about the most relevant research challenges related to urbanization, urban forms, urban-rural relations and urbanism under the mobile internet era. The conference proposes the growing concern about the transformation including economic disparity, spatial fragments, social segments and governance changes from the network tension of the virtual and physical space. We urge to a sustainable paradigm of future urban and rural form under a new partnership.
Researchers, practitioners, multilateral agencies, civil society and city-to-rural learning networks will collectively shape debates around how to critically understand and restructure the urban-rural integrated system, contributing to more economically and socially comprehensive relationship between urban and rural region.
The conference will tackle issues related to urban and rural theory, frameworks, principles and paradigm under the mobile internet era, but also navigate the practices through the challenges, learning and future challenges. The call for panels and papers will focus on five main aspects of urban-rural urbanism research and implementation under the mobile internet era:
Topic 1 Urbanization in the Mobile Internet Era
Internet has been used as a powerful tool that could decentralize work and living patterns, which results to the changed of contemporary urbanism setting. In particularly, the rapid development of ICT (Information Communication Technology) changed the ways and velocity to translate information, such as Mobile Internet-5G. It not only has developed in urban areas, but also has sunk into rural sites. Where people could participate in political and economic activities through using their own mobile phones without being related to their own political power, educational level and personal economy.
With the development of ICT, a growing number of people are using it to carry out the e-commerce activities around the world and shape the global economic model both in the city and countryside and improve the local economy as well as their careers. An urgent challenge is the issues of how to have a long term of the sustainable development under the Mobile Internet Era.
Therefore, analysing the new trends and rules for the new urbanization in the Mobile Internet Era would produce a better response to the challenge and establish a new paradigm to sustainable urban and countryside development. Furthermore, urban researches never be an isolated subject, which crosses multiple disciplinary boundaries including planning, social, political, economy and etc. This new phenomenon of urbanisation would come into notice of them and establish multi-/inter-disciplinary dialogues among researchers and professionals.
Topic 2 New Economy and Rural Revitalization
The development of Hi-Tech and the Internet generates new economy in the last decade of the 20th century, which has changed the fundamental laws of economics and how we work, recreate and play. The emergence and the rise of the Internet as a business medium, such as e-commerce, is demonstrated to benefit the urban-and-rural areas. However, the challenges in the rural areas differ from urban analogues, including limited access to infrastructure, services, policy decisions and greater exposure to environmental shocks as well as stresses facing the development of economy like the overused natural resources.
In China, South Korea and other countries, the innovation of live broadcast in rural economic achieves preliminary success and stimulates the endogenous power to improve the habitat environment. We urge to share with more paradigms in rural areas utilizing the Internet technology, especially the mobile Internet, and trajectories of policies.
In addition to the application of the Internet technology in local economy, the smart rural strategy requires a sustainable habitat environment with historical heritage and ecological living pattern. Therefore, this topic calls for the new models of architecture based on local history, resources and nature.
Topic 3 Mega-city Region with the Mobile Internet
Megacities act as magnets for trade, culture, knowledge and industry on an unprecedented scale. With the development of internet technology in mega-city region, the mobility of element flows strengthens, the connection between virtual world and physical space establish, the various spatial forms are reshaped by stickiness to geographical location or the virtual network in varying degrees. The flow of features could eliminate the existence of local space due to the fuzzy administrative boundary by rapid increasing of mobile users.
In the internet era, the way population and resources participated in the megacities has changed, with faster and more efficient flows of information, contributing to minimize the loss and maximize decision participation. It offers the possibility of multi-assessment system related to multi-dimensions of economy, environment and society and sustainable strategies making by the internet technology, like govern app or website open to citizens, rather than sacrificing environment for growth. Therefore, better governance, services and holistic solutions in an internet way are urgent demand to apply to megacities society development.
In addition, the internet technology, especially the mobile internet, will help deliver transparency and efficiency, contributing to enhance the interaction between the public and the government cross boundaries.
Topic 4 Public Participation & Governance Transformation
Internet plays a pivotal role in booting economy by executing e-commercial activities both in the cities and rural areas, which results to local and global citizens, businesses, and governments have a better, more coherent and interacting experience. The peculiarity of the internet including timeless time and death of distance provide governments a great opportunity to better understand what citizens need, assemble services more quickly and at lower cost, and continuously improve services based on data and evidence. However, there is no fixed physical space to establish a regional connection on the mobile node in the network society, and it eliminates the real political boundary, which provide challenge to city-region governance.
On the one hand, people could use the mass self-communication (such as Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, TikTok) to sale products, which have local cultural characteristics rather than concentrated on the agglomeration areas like city centre or others. One the other hand, public people could get others’ attention to reflect the social problems in the form of short videos, who could support or oppose the view far away the place by using mobile phone.
Topic 5 Future City and Design
The reasonable and efficient consumption of materials and resources are a key factor to build and design the future city. Building on and integrating with big data as well as virtual reality, the cities of the future could cope with the problems for the growing populations and scarcer resource. At present, big data is being used to understand when, how, and why crowds form, and to predict their movements and actions. It is essential to understand how people move in cities, how energy is used, how various aspects of infrastructure interact, and much more. The virtual reality people real experience on the virtual space which could change the style of building for fitting the new technology. These opportunities and challenge could stimulate people’s will to promote new approaches of future city and design with low-carbon community and green building in the mobile internet era with tools like big data and virtual reality.
In addition to that, a synchronic society leads us to consider the approaches of future city and design in a totally different way, such as different level of infrastructural facility, economy, policy, institutions and others. A global perspective does benefit us to assume better and suitable planning and design schemes for the cities.
