Context:
Donald Trump promises investment in infrastructure, China continues to urbanize and pollute, global cities are surrounded by slums and housing is unaffordable and simultaneously a form of capital investment. Old buildings and communities are struggling to survive as new ones struggle to emerge. 

Themes: 
The issues of living in cities, towns and communities are intrinsically related to the buildings we construct and maintain, the houses we make or destroy and the roads we build or replace. This all reflects and informs social development, community conflict, economic opportunity and more. These conferences seek to explore this complexity in its broadest sense. 

Disciplines:
These conferences seek interdisciplinary dialogue. Disciplines welcome include architecture, housing, urban planning, sociology, human geography, cultural studies and more. 

Publications:
Publications are organized as part of PARADE (Publication & Research in Art, Architectures, Design and Environments). It is coordinated by AMPS and involves Routledge Taylor&Francis, UCL Press,  Intellect Books, Libri Publishing, UCL Press, Vernon Press and more.
