EURA 2025 Conference

About the conference

The Centre for Sustainable Planning and Environments at UWE Bristol, is delighted to be hosting the EURA Annual Conference in Bristol, UK, in June 2025. The overall theme of this conference is Creating healthy and sustainable cities.

Cities and city regions are dynamic places. They face multiple, complex and interacting pressures including: the current climate change and ecological emergencies; rapid socio-cultural change arising from urban population movements (both into and out of cities); economic restructuring stemming from rapid technological change; disturbing increases in social, economic, racial and health inequalities; growing threats to the legitimacy of city planning and urban management in responding to these various challenges; and, in many societies, a rising feeling that trust in politics, and in the ability of the state to govern well, is in decline.

The EURA 2025 Conference will not shy away from these challenges. Indeed, it will provide opportunities for scholars from different countries to share ideas on how to better understand these complex and related challenges. But the conference aims to do more than this.

Mobile workshops, or study tours, will be provided as part of the conference. There are significant opportunities in and around Bristol to learn about and discuss a variety of urban and regional initiatives.
