Thursday 11th - Friday 12th November 2010, University College London, Gower Street - London - WC1E 6BT UK
This year’s UGRG Conference will explore alternative ways of organising, practising and imagining cities. It responds to recent global turbulence and uncertainty in urban capitalist economies, political frameworks and environmental conditions. These urgently demand new ways of challenging existing policies, ideologies and visions, by recognising a broad and complex array of urban geographies, and emphasising the creative and sustainable possibilities of the urban twenty-first century.
