Introduction
This is a major conference on the theme of The Vital City being held under the auspices of the European Urban Research Association (EURA). EURA brings together an inter-disciplinary network of urban researchers from across Europe and beyond. It provides a forum for cross-national debate on urban policy and acts as a bridge between research and policy in this rapidly urbanising world. The conference will celebrate its 10th Anniversary this year and provides an opportunity for urban researchers and policy makers to engage in lively debate and exchange knowledge and ideas about the challenges involved in achieving The Vital City in different European settings.
Description
There is an emerging conventional wisdom about European cities which argues that they are vital to the future of our societies. They are engines of regional and national development in advanced economies dependant on innovation, human capital and connectivity. In an era of high mobility, cities can offer high quality environments and sustainable patterns of development. They can also provide social and cultural vitality in the context of increasing population diversity and fluidity. Indeed, many cities are currently undergoing revitalisation.
