Call for papers conference: Gridding Equitable Urban Futures in Areas of Transition

In what ways should we rethink the relationship between socio-technical transitions and the making of more equitable urban futures? What capacities, requirements and imaginaries do communities have in contexts of informality; contexts that are often perceived as marginal, precarious, and incomplete? How should we contextualise policies bent on targets, notably decarbonising and net zero energy, so that the knowledge, creativity, resilience, and regenerative resourcefulness of citizens are integrated into visions of just, equitable futures for the specific places which they call their home? Join us in Lancaster (September 21-22 2023) for this interdisciplinary conference to explore critically and creatively these and related questions.
