The broad spectrum of the conference will allow researchers and practitioners to ‘future gaze’ into the construction industry.
Topics include:

Psychology in Construction (Psycon) International Conference:
Psycon brings psychology and the built environment together to explore ways in which humans and their needs can be understood better and met optimally. This quest is balanced against the need for a sustainable environment. Industry, academia and users of built facilities inform the considerations under Psycon, and their perspectives will all be discussed at the conference.
Topics include:
Human Agency: Building and Behaviour
A Room with a View: Landscape and Perception
Ergonomics
Minding the gap: Interdisciplinary Approaches

Wolverhampton is located in the heart of the United Kingdom, and the centre of the ‘Black Country’ region – the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It was during this period that the area was famous for its heavy industry including with coalmines, iron foundries, glass factories, brickwork and steel mills. Building on this enviable heritage, the conferences aim to look to the future for the construction sector in an area of the UK that is currently a focus for vast urban regeneration and the site of major infrastructure works, including High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) and the Smart Motorway network. The conference will include visits to some key heritage sites in the region.
