INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT WATCH

A workshop in the conference “THE RISE OF ASIA IN GLOBAL HISTORY AND PERSPECTIVE: Covid-19 from Asia to the world: what assessment and what perspective for a common future?”

 

With the continuous increase of urbanisation and concentration of population in urban areas worldwide, it is worthwhile to set-up and develop an international network of UDW (Urban Development Watch). It will allow to identify the challenges in a given urban area, to compare with other urban areas, to learn each other among the "watchers", to see the problems at national, regional and/or global levels.

 

The object of watch is a geographical area/locality/territory (town, city, agglomeration, urban/suburban zone). The watch may be focused on one or more sectors: culture, ecology, economy, politic and/or religion/spirituality, etc.

 

The workshop is open to individual and group paper presentations. Those willing to present their papers are invited to submit their proposals until December 31, 2021.
