Integrated Urban-Rural Planning and Governance
In China, and many other countries across the world, rapid urbanisation processes have produced unevenly developed landscapes made up of urban growth centres and disadvantaged hinterlands. The first international conference within the framework of the Sino-German research and development project Urban-Rural Assembly (URA) takes this as a starting point towards a global exploration of the political, ecological and social relevance of integrated approaches in urban-rural planning and governance.

Transit Spaces: (Dis)Connections and the Fluid Places In-Between
Digitalisation, increased mobility and globalisation have created new spatial dynamics. The places shaped by these dynamics are characterised by the transient movement of people and goods, overlapping networks and meshworks, blurred borders and a constant state of flexibility - physically and culturally. What could a border region of the future in a context of fluid spaces look like?

Lab Talk Series: MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY
Urban peripheries - such as informal cities, barrios and suburbs - are typically perceived to present only great challenges. With this five-part series, ANCB and the Schindler Transit Management Group stimulate new ways of thinking, to question the given preconditions of current development and to initiate a discourse on urban realities at the periphery. Four types of periphery, exemplified by four case studies – Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and Europe – in connection with participation and social justice are discussed.
