<br>Conference theme
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>After the collapse of state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE),
<br>the former socialist countries’ inclusion into the competitive global
<br>economies advanced as both; temporally and spatially uneven processes.
<br>These uneven processes presented myriad diversities, thereby implying
<br>significant shifts and high levels of creativity in finding ways of
<br>adapting to new forms of socio-political realities, which in turn offered a
<br>multitude of opportunities for urban research. Subsequently, scholarly
<br>attention has been paid particularly on examining interconnections between
<br>historical-, sociological-, and market-related aspects of transitioning
<br>processes. However, the exact implications of their spatial transformations
<br>have been largely absent within systematic research. Contrary to the often
<br>more adaptable socio-political structures of cities, built urban
<br>environment requires more time to adapt to changes and consequently reflect
<br>the new ideological concepts. This thereby warrants thirty years of
<br>comprehensive transition (1989-2019) as an optimum point of departure for
<br>undertaking a thorough and in-depth reflection. Hence, the international
<br>conference “Three Decades of Post-socialist Transition” seeks to bring
<br>together leading urban academics to discuss issues of post-socialist
<br>transition and a multitude of its effects on built urban environment from
<br>diverse perspectives. In addition, we also aim to challenge and advance
<br>both our knowledge and practice around the complex links within the
<br>neoliberal development agenda, socio-political changes, post-socialist
<br>identity formation, representation of cities and the urban space.
<br>
<br>The research group Urban Morphosis Lab invites you to submit abstracts that
<br>refer to the above-mentioned issues of post-socialist transition affecting
<br>urban spaces. Our conference also welcomes inter- and transdisciplinary
<br>approaches to this subject. Some of the key themes that will be discussed
<br>during the conference are:
<br>
<br> -
<br>
<br> Urban memory and heritage
<br> -
<br>
<br> Contested heritage and heritage of conflict
<br> -
<br>
<br> Urban and national identity building
<br> -
<br>
<br> Governance, planning, revitalization and regeneration
<br> -
<br>
<br> Urban shrinkage and sustainability
<br> -
<br>
<br> Urban tourism, branding and marketing
