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!

#59 Cities and the climate question

For many weeks, last summer, my region (Sicily) was burning in flames. Blown by African winds, fires rapidly destroyed ancient woods and crops in the countryside, attacking houses and larger estates at the margins of urban areas. In the days following the fires, cities were enveloped in a dense, grey smoke, making it difficult to breath and to go about life as usual outside our homes. ...

#58 Thoughts on loneliness in the European city

For me, living in a city centre apartment means a short walk to my office, access to a dense transport network and proximity to a dazzling array of food and leisure options. However, living in the city centre also comes with a great deal of anonymity. I so rarely see my neighbours that I don’t even know what most of them look like. ...

Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that produces content based on patterns it observes in large datasets.
