We are proud to announce the first details of the EURA 2025 Annual Conference!
Cities and city regions are dynamic places. They face multiple, complex and interacting pressures including: the current climate change and ecological emergencies; rapid socio-cultural change arising from urban population movements (both into and out of cities); economic restructuring stemming from rapid technological change; disturbing increases in social, economic, racial and health inequalities; growing threats to the legitimacy of city planning and urban management in responding to these various challenges; and, in many societies, a rising feeling that trust in politics, and in the ability of the state to govern well, is in decline.
The EURA 2025 Conference will not shy away from these challenges. Indeed, it will provide opportunities for scholars from different countries to share ideas on how to better understand these complex and related challenges. But the conference aims to do more than this. The Call for Papers will be announced in September 2024 and will invite scholars to submit abstracts that enhance understanding and illuminate fruitful ways forward for the city. Papers presenting evidence showing how cities are successfully coping with these various pressures will be particularly welcomed.
Mobile Workshops, or study tours, will be provided as part of the conference. There are significant opportunities in and around Bristol to learn about and discuss a variety of urban and regional initiatives.
EURA 2025 will be hosted by The Centre for Sustainable Planning and Environments at the University of the West of England, Bristol. The Centre aims to aims to develop an understanding of how to achieve healthy, resilient, sustainable and smart places, in the context of climate and ecological emergencies.
