Cities pose a number of challenges when it comes to visualisation. These 
include issues such as audience heterogeneity, data accessibility and 
quality, single issue vs multi-topic and many more. Visualisations of 
city spaces in the form of dashboards, infographics and interactive 
graphics of specific topics help to increase awareness as well as 
potentially foster deeper knowledge of localities. They are capable of 
conveying information quicker and more easily than the same data 
presented in textual form, and are generally designed to be appealing to 
a wide range of users. Yet, little research has been carried out into 
the effectiveness of such visualisations.

With this special track we aim to encourage people working in EGov, 
visualisation and/or HCI related areas to submit relevant papers. 
Research should focus on how to further our understanding of the goals 
and specific challenges inherent in city visualisations. In particular 
we hope to facilitate increased engagement with city visualisations from 
these perspectives as these are most relevant, but other perspectives 
are also welcome. However, papers must include clear links to the EGov 
domain. Below is a list of suggested subtopics - other areas may also be 
considered but please contact us first.

Topics include, but not limited to:


  *

    Participation of citizens in city visualisation activities

  * Issues of data quantity and how to visualise this
  * Issues of data quality and how to visualise this
  * New visualisation types specific to the city context
  * Evaluations of City Visualisations (single topic, multi-topic, or
    dashboards)
  * Mapping of City Visualisations (single topic, multi-topic, or
    dashboards)
  * Analysis of City Visualisations (single topic, multi-topic, or
    dashboards)
  * Visualisation examples from other domains that would be applicable
    to the city context
  * Real-time city visualisations (including IoT and Smart City)
  * Public Policy Communication
