Claiming the Streets. Using the Past to Challenge the Present and Imagine the Future of Urban Public Spaces

With Danielle van den Heuvel & James Symonds

The conference will bring together scholars from different disciplines as well as policymakers and other stakeholders in the community to together tackle questions on the in- and exclusivity in the city. We do this by specifically looking at the street as a site of contestation and emancipation. In particular, we aim for the conference to be a site of encounter between hitherto separate enquiries into the past, present and future of city streets, and between academic enquiries and practical experiences.
