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.

It is also easier for readers to contribute their ideas to the international conversation via the comments section below each contribution.
