This year, the lecture series 'Designing Urbanization', organized within the framework of the course 'Urban Analysis' by Prof. Michiel Dehaene, focuses on interpretative approaches to the city and urbanism. In four different sessions (interpretations of development modalities, interpretations of the urbanizing village, interpretations of the urban metabolism and interpretations of use and appropriation) two speakers will each give their lecture on the city and urbanization.

The series will be organized online at ZOOM. Those wanting to attend a lecture but who are not following the course can send an e-mail to Tom.Broes@ugent.be
