9-11 October 2008, EURA 2008 Conference, Milan, Italy

European cities are engaged in difficult and challenging processes of social, economical, institutional and territorial change. Contemporary cities can be considered as learning places under different points of view:
- as central nodes of a knowledge based econom,
- as social laboratories, places which expose continuously their citizens to the effects of social transformation,
- as settings for institutional and political innovation.
The EURA 2008 Conference in Milan (October 9-11, 2008) will focus its attention on the exploration of these major challenges and will foster a lively debate among researchers in the field of urban studies, particularly pointing at interactions among forms of knowledge and forms of urban governance.
