Navigating around our modern urban spaces has become an increasingly complex task. Hospitals, health centres and longterm care settings pose very particular problems for those who use them. Come and meet our expert national and international speakers at Wayfinding in healthcare settings on Friday April 19th at the Trinity Business School.
This conference aims to foster and actively develop a joint reflection within a transdisciplinary scientific exchange, which enhances innovation through Design and Industry for a better future with a strategic vision.
Where Cartography Meets Industry brings together leading organisations, the International Map Industry Association (IMIA), the British Cartographic Society (BCS), the International Cartographic Association (ICA), and the Cartography and Geographic Information Society (CaGIS) to share current perspectives and envision the developing future of cartography and the mapping industry. Advancing our vital discussion of geo-ethics, this panel will examine how to build trust in various aspects of cartography and mapping business.
The theme of Publicness and Places delves into the dynamics of public spaces and their significance in our urban environment. During this seminar, we will explore various aspects of publicness and places in different parts the world. Renelle Sarjeant will be exploring the realities and complexities of the institutional an dthe everyday domains and how these cross and serve each other; Dr. Joseph Chambers will be focus on the uses of private and public space and how these may differ, and Dr. Juhyun Lee will focus on the smart city and its social transitions.
The rich line-up of frontier urban topics will include new research and case studies, and new tools and strategies for public space, placemaking, urban resilience, zoning code reform, street and transportation reform, affordability and diversity, aesthetics and liveability, and liveable cities and towns for ALL.

The main theme of the conference is Resilient Navigation. While the 20th Century was focussed on the provision of ubiquitous and accurate Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), the 21st Century’s focus has shifted to ensuring that PNT services may be trusted and are reliable and resilient. As we move to more and more systems that are either fully automated, or are automated to the point of human complacency, there is now wide recognition of the need for PNT systems that will operate in unprecedented threat-challenged environments (both civil and military); continuously provide usability and integrity status; fail very rarely; and when they do fail, do so safely, securely and elegantly.
