We provide here a warm welcome to the EURA 2025 Conference to be held in Bristol, UK on 10-13 June 2025. The conference theme is ‘Creating healthy and sustainable cities’ and we are absolutely delighted with the response to the call for papers. Over 280 scholars have now registered for the conference, and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) is now working closely with the Co-Chairs of the nine tracks to schedule the various sessions. In addition to 19 pre-organised panels more than 230 papers will be delivered. This is a most encouraging response. The conference content has been designed not just to address the main theme of the conference, but also to provide opportunities for academics to exchange views on topics that are of recurring interest to urban scholars within the EURA community.

On 15th March 2025 – it was a Saturday – 50,000 people quietly invaded Piazza del Popolo in Rome, a monumental square that has often witnessed key events within Italian political history. Called a ‘Square for Europe’, the gathering originated from the idea of Michele Serra, a columnist for a major national newspaper (La Repubblica), who claimed that a large mobilization of civil society was needed to contrast the repeated attacks, from different sides, on European values and identity. In his opening speech, Serra used a translation of the famous battle cry ‘Here we make Italy, or we die’ (‘Qui si fa l’Italia o si muore’), shouted by Giuseppe Garibaldi before a key battle during his successful campaign to unite the country in 1860, hence the title of this blogpost

Advice is sometimes offered that you should “reflect” upon what you have said or written. Such advice is often acknowledged but not necessarily enacted. In this particular Conversation, each of the editors has been interviewed, and I have encouraged them to reflect upon what we are doing – or trying to do – with the EURA Conversations blog. Without identifying any of the comments from a specific editor, this Conversation is a summation of where we think we are at, and how we might want to take the Conversation forward. A number of contributors to the EURA Conversations blog have been approached to respond to this piece. I would encourage all readers to respond as well. We, the editors, are merely the curators of YOUR blog...

The late, legendary musician Bob Marley once said: “Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.” Had he still been alive in 2024, he might have wondered what is next for the things he held most dear in his homeland of Jamacia, one of the Small Island States left bitterly disappointed, and at risk, by the outcomes of COP29...
