Global Cities - an interdisciplinary conference (Liverpool Hope
University, UK; 29th-30th June 2006)
Location: United Kingdom
Call for Papers Deadline: 2006-02-28
Date Submitted: 2005-08-25
Announcement ID: 147588
This conference is intended to encourage interdisciplinary exchange on
the representation, cultures, histories, experience, planning, and
articulation of global cities. By interrogating the vocabularies that
have arisen in several disciplines which might include in addition to
the term 'global city', 'global village', 'megacities', 'cosmopolis',
imperial metropolis', 'world cities', 'sprawl', 'postmetropolis', etc.,
the conference will bring together debates over images, narratives,
economics, planning and, above all, experience, of the 'global' city.
Papers are sought from any relevant discipline in the humanities, social
sciences, architecture, urban planning, and beyond.
We will be actively pursuing various publishing outputs related to the
conference.
Abstracts of 200 words for 20-minute papers by 28th February 2006.
