MobiLab at AISU Conference 2024

MobiLab participated in the “Cities and Students: University Residences: Culture, Spaces, Heritage” conference organised by the AISU (Italian Association of Urban History).
The event, hosted by the Università Politecnica delle Marche and the University of Urbino, took place in Urbino from 19 to 21 September.

At the conference, MobiLab presented the latest results on the “student geography” of academic housing in Padua. Using historical GIS and digital cartography, the study explored the evolution of student housing patterns in the city from the medieval to the early modern period. This research, carried out in collaboration with the Centre for the History of the University of Padua (CSUP), is part of the BO2022 project and the activities of Atelier Héloïse – European Network on Digital Academic History.
