Nov 2022: UrbRel annual conference on urbanity
From 16 to 18 November 2022, our annual conference took place at Ettersburg Castle, close to Weimar. Drawing upon the results of two summer workshops - one on the benefits and pitfalls of typologising cities, the other on morphing urbanities across time and space - the conference took a closer look at urbanity, the history of the concept and its uses. Conveners: Susanne Rau, Sara Keller; Organiser: Klara Maeve O'Reilly
