Dear all,
we are very pleased to announce the next EURA Conference
on “City lights. Cities and citizens
within/beyond/notwithstacfnding the crisis” that will be
in Torino in 2016 (16-18 June).
Please find the CfP and the CfS below and more information
here: www.eura2016.org
TOPIC
The global crisis and its complex interrelations in the
economic, socio-cultural, environmental and political
terms have produced adaptive responses and
counterstrategies in cities across the world.
The crisis has, in fact, impacted on cities and citizens
in many different ways, and its effects in short and
medium terms can already be witnessed, while how cities
will be different in the long term has still to be
determined.
The aim of this conference, thus, is rather to reflect on
present conditions of cities, on the possibility that they
have already undergone deep changes, on the recognition
that citizens are dealing with new forms of citizenship,
new forms of representation and, in some cases, different
perspectives for innovative practices of urban democracy.
Besides, in many contexts responses to the crisis were
provided with a place-based approach, following a modus
operandi often implemented in the past decades that has
not been critically reconsidered in light of the recent
crisis-driven framework.
The conference welcomes contributions reflecting on the
global crisis from an urban point of view, in order to
highlight those ruptures that are permanently changing
cities. To this extent, the conference is open to scholars
from different disciplines, practitioners, and policy- and
decision-makers that can witness experiences of this
general transition process.
