About the Event

This symposium brings together architects, engineers, urban and regional planners, developers, artists, and academics to examine the perspectives of a largely underrepresented topic: shrinking cities. “The future of shrinking cities - problems, patterns and strategies of urban transformation in a global context” is the presentation of a project carried out under the aegis of the Institute of Urban and Regional Development, and the kick-off event of the Center for Global Metropolitan Studies' program area "Shrinking Cities in a Global Perspective."
