EURA Conversations is digital space for international exchange between urban scholars. It was created with the idea of providing a democratic arena to share experiences, offer reflections and encourage dialogue within the EURA community. Recently, the series entered a new era, one which aims to make the series more interactive, providing space for two voices: a leader setting out an idea, and a responder offering an initial reaction. It is also easier for readers to contribute their ideas to the international conversation via the comments section below each contribution.
