CUPUM 2025

Join us in London on 23–27 June 2025 as CASA hosts the 19th International Conference on Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM).

For more than thirty years, CUPUM has been at the leading edge of international debates around the role of computing technologies in shaping and managing cities. On 23–27 June 2025, CUPUM returns to London and will focus on the central theme of 'Cloud Cities'. The conference will take place at our UCL East campus, which combines state-of-the-art facilities for cross-disciplinary research and innovation with new approaches to practical and accessible learning.  

The conference and accompanying book welcomes debate around all aspects of social, economic, environmental and managerial challenges facing modern cities as we head further into a new cloud-based era of human progress.
