Critical Dialogues in Comparative Urbanism

This cluster expands on the established 'Critical Dialogues' collaborative partnership with the University of Toronto.

1 April 2024

Overview

Builds on the strength of the established ‘Critical Dialogues’ collaborative partnership with the University of Toronto, which culminated in the edited book Critical Dialogues of Urban Governance, Development and Activism: London and Toronto (UCL Press, 2020)
Widen to create an umbrella network for similarly dialogic city-based comparisons involving researchers from BSP and external colleagues
Designed to be a fluid scaffolding that supports collaborative comparative research activities and outputs in relation to generative comparative urban studies
Capacity-building network to enable comparative research that goes beyond static vignettes from different cities or projects, promoting research that is collaborative and diverse in team composition and disciplinary impact
The core aim is to support high-quality and cutting-edge outputs – working papers, project reports, books, blogs, podcasts and host seminars, book launches etc.
