The 2008 edition of the EUKN international conference aims to change the perception of deprived urban areas as a accumulation of problems to a view that is more in line with the actual situation in our cities. At the conference, the focus will be on how to harness the potential and energy present in deprived urban areas and on exploring ways in which these areas and their inhabitants can play their part in the creation of comprehensive, well-balanced and vital cities.
Confirmed speakers in the conference include:
- Patrick Le Galès, Research Director at CNRS and at Sciences Po
- Ivo Opstelten, Mayor of Rotterdam
- Dominic Schrijer, Vice-Mayor of Rotterdam
At the conference you will participate in onsite visits in which international comparisons will be presented, an expert panel discussion on the practical implications of an integrated approach to urban development, and by participating you will contribute to the drafting of the Rotterdam Recommendations, which will be presented to the French EU Presidency. The social programme includes a boat tour on the River Maas and a conference dinner at the most panoramic location in the Rotterdam Skyline. Read more:
