EURA CONVERSATIONS

Summer break 2023 is here!

EURA Conversations is now taking a summer break. Since last September nine authors from the following countries have made contributions to the series: Croatia, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Sweden, The Netherlands, and United Kingdom. And scholars from a variety of countries have added their comments on these posts - including scholars from Austria, Italy, Poland and Romania.

The topics covered have been many and varied. Have you missed out on any of our posts?
From the role of EURA conferences in providing an important platform for international exchange between scholars, decision-makers and practitioners working in cities, to the changes taking place in different urban contexts around the world, we invite you to take a dip into recent EURA blog posts - see below.

Looking ahead we will be back in September with new authors covering more urban studies topics that we think will interest you.
Please consider contributing to EURA Conversations during the 2023/24 academic year. If you have an idea for a piece (800-1000 words) please get in touch by emailing: secretariat@eura.org

We are always on the look out for new contributors!

In 1929, with his painting La Trahison des images, René Magritte famously declared, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe," challenging the relationship between representation and reality.

In a similar short-circuit, Gregory Bateson, in Mind and Nature (1984), revisited a principle popularized by Alfred Korzybski, stating, «the map is not the territory, and the name is not the thing named» ...

#67 The invisible challenges of feeding sustainable and healthy cities

It is critical to recognize a (mostly) invisible driver for unhealthy and unsustainable cities: the way we feed cities. The Report of the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health in 2019 (Willett et al., 2019) made an impactful alert to acknowledge that the food system is the single largest reason for humans' transgression of key planetary boundaries, being the main driver of nature degradation and global environmental disruption, especially at city level ...

#64 Cities and the defence of democracy

Democracy is under attack. In more than a few countries far right politicians have, in recent years, sought to undermine long-established constitutional, democratic norms and weaken citizen voices. For example, as explained in these pages by Ivan Tosics (EC #57), Viktor Orban, the Hungarian Prime Minister, has since 2010 eroded press freedom, damaged judicial independence, and enfeebled elected local governments ...
