UCL Urban Laboratory and the Urban Lab+ International Network of Urban
Laboratories are hosting a symposium on 16 and 17 September on global
approaches to urban higher education.
The symposium is a chance to address how multi-/cross-/inter- and trans-disciplinary urban learning can be based on global knowledge and address international issues in a world that is both rapidly urbanising and globalising. It’s not always clear how this can be best implemented in practice, especially to ensure urban education plays a constitutive role in addressing issues of urban inequality and global disparities in the production of urban knowledge, and in the application of expertise.
