It was evident that this trend will continue in multiple forms including experimental ones bridging theory and practice, sometimes inverting the role of researchers and authors, but always enlarging audiences, practitioners and studious.The second main result was to observe how the relation evolved between UX and Urban Creativity topics, and the result was fantastic.
