INURA 2023 in Zurich - Press release

Since 1991 the INURA Conference has been combining urban research and action using a very successful format: A few days in a city guided by local groups, when the INURA conference creates opportunities for local and international exchanges, and a few days in the countryside reflecting on what has been experienced in the city, on further projects, and how the whole network can contribute to address urgent local issues with global relevance.

The 31st INURA Conference will return to Zurich from May 29 to May 31, and to Salecina from June 1 to June 4, 2023, where the retreat of the first INURA Conference took place in 1991.

Guests from India, China, Australia, African, Latin and North American countries, and from various European countries will be joined by local activists and scholars, to explore critical topics related to housing and the social question, to developments beyond the inner city, and to current crises and urban actions.

The overall frame under which the city part’s tours and panel discussions will be held is The Right to the Planet – Reconsider the Urban Question! See https://inura23.wordpress.com/city/

The retreat typically follows a self-organized way to refine the agenda based on the city experience. See https://inura23.wordpress.com/retreat/

Kultureinrichtungen und Stadtentwicklung - New Metropolitan Mainstream war ein INURA Projekt, welches den weltweiten Vergleich von Stadtentwicklung anstrebte, insbesondere die Unterordnung von Stadtentwicklungszielen unter die weltweite Konkurrenz der Städte um Kapital, hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte, Tourist:innen. Kultur, Prestigebauten, Ausgehmöglichkeiten waren die Inhalte. Oft waren die Strategien verbunden mit komplexen Zusammenarbeiten mit reichen privaten Geldgebern, die sich selber ein Denkmal setzen wollten. Die Studie 'Set in Stone' zeigte, wie oft Museumsprojekte an solchen Konstrukten scheiterten.

This study looks at a major building boom of museums, performing arts centers and theaters in the United States from 1994 to 2008.
