Urban Austerity: Impacts of the global financial crisis on cities in Europe

Decem­ber 4th & 5th, 2014, Bauhaus-Universität Wei­mar, Ger­many, orga­ni­zed by Prof. Bar­bara Schö­nig & Dr. Sebas­tian Schip­per

The inter­na­tio­nal con­fe­rence “Urban Aus­te­rity: Impacts of the glo­bal finan­cial cri­sis on cities in Europe” will be hos­ted by the Insti­tute for Euro­pean Urban Stu­dies at Bauhaus-Universität Wei­mar from Thurs­day 4th Decem­ber to Fri­day 5th Decem­ber 2014.  The con­fe­rence seeks to pro­mote an inter­di­sci­pli­nary debate that dis­cus­ses regu­latory restruc­tu­rings under a new regime of aus­te­rity urba­nism and reflects on the role of urban social move­ments strugg­ling for pro­gres­sive alter­na­ti­ves. In the first part of the con­fe­rence we will bring in aca­de­mics, prac­ti­tio­ners, and poli­ti­cal activists from Greece to share their rese­arch and expe­ri­en­ces. In the second part, we will invite con­tri­bu­ti­ons from esta­blis­hed aca­de­mics, early career rese­ar­chers, gra­duate stu­dents, cri­ti­cal gover­nors, and poli­ti­cal activists on a broad range of urban topics focu­sed on but not limited to the regi­ons most affec­ted in Sou­thern and Sou­theas­tern Europe.

Please con­tact Sebas­tian Schip­per (sebastian.schipper@uni-weimar.de) if you have any ques­ti­ons or com­ments about the conference.
