International Conference: The New Urban Question - Urbanism beyond Neo-Liberalism on Nov. 26th-28th in Amsterdam -
This looks like a great conference for those working on urban issues. I have sworn off conferences until I finish my fieldwork - so I must resist the force!
“The New Urban Question – Urbanism beyond Neo-liberalism” is the title of the 4th Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) that will take place from November 26th to 28th, 2009 at Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The theme of the conference is about the recovery of the discipline of Urbanism under the conditions of urbanization and urban transformation, ecological threats and economical crises.
The conference will be organized in the framework of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) by the Department of Urbanism, TU Delft and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) and the Municipality of Amsterdam as well as other participating universities of the IFoU-network.
