Cities are home to more than 55% of the world’s population and generate 80% of global GDP. Their economic power and influence are counterbalanced by a growing number of social, political, and environmental challenges that threaten to undermine societies and habitats. Current conditions within cities, as well as their future capacity to become equitable and resilient, are shaped by a complex set of dynamics. Policies and politics operating at the global, regional and local levels produce conflicts, polarization, dislocation, economic instability, and climate change. As the world’s cities begin an assumed exit from the recent global pandemic, a singular question emerges: how can cities on the brink of irreversible change develop equitable policy options that will allow for future sustainability and resilience?
The dynamics influencing current conditions in cities, as well as their ability to become equitable and resilient in the future, are complex, and call for a multidisciplinary perspective from urban affairs scholars and practitioners. This conference welcomes researchers, planners, policymakers, advocates, and community leaders to share insights and identify strategies for creating equitable options that ensure sustainable choices. Among the wide range of topics relevant to cities, a set of subthemes are of particular interest.
Cities as Global Landscapes
Resilient Cities
Rights to the City
Democracy Under Stress: Institutions and Governance
The conference site of New York City provides a particularly compelling example of a city on the edge. A global center of finance and trade, the city plays a central role in world economic processes, yet continually faces local and regional pressures as a hyper-diverse and politically charged environment. Through special sessions and a general plenary, the conference will spotlight this unique American city, its uncanny resilience, and challenging future.
