EURA Conversations is now taking a summer break. Since last September nine authors from the following countries have made contributions to the series. And scholars from a variety of countries have added their comments on these 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. Looking ahead we will be back in September with new authors covering more urban studies topics that we think will interest you. We are always on the look out for new contributors!
