Planocosmo International Conference is an academic event arranged by Regional and City Planning Department, School of Architecture, Planning, and Policy Development, Bandung Institute of Technology. The first Planocosmo Conference was held last year on October 8-9, 2012.

We have witnessed how cities and regions are expanding as logical consequence to rapid economic growth. On the other hand, inadequate or poorly performing infrastructure presents major economic and social challenges, reflected by widening regional disparity and exacerbating poverty. Furthermore, the role of infrastructure is no longer limited to addressing economic and social needs. Network-oriented infrastructure development and climate-friendly technology adoption have become an immediate necessity in providing the proper framework towards sustainable and inclusive development. Herein, the role of planning is challenged more than ever. The lack of funding and scarce resources, conflicting interests among various stakeholders, and other external factors including political, governmental, and societal system are among the key issues that hinder the acceleration of infrastructure provision. Accordingly, in this conference, we invite academicians, researchers, and practitioners to discuss the interface between infrastructure and regional planning and its implementation.
