The 4th International Seminar on Urbanism and Urbanization aims to address both issues of permanence and change, as well as conformities and differences within urban practices of both a European and non-European context. A main focus of such a discussion is to establish patterns and methods of approach, which could provide valuable material for a discourse on the urban, set against a worldwide perspective.

 

The theme of the 4th International Seminar on Urbanism and Urbanization will be the European Tradition of Urbanism – and its Future. Delft University of Technology would act as host for this event scheduled to take place during September 2007. Since its inauguration as an annual seminar series, initiated by KU Leuven (February 2004), the discussion and seminar has been marked by follow–up events arranged by UPC Barcelona (June 2005) and the IUAV Venice (August 2006). This, the 4th International seminar, will be jointly organized by the Department of Urbanism and the Delft School of Design, both in the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.
