Institute of Urban Development is organizing international conference of Urban Development Issues journal ???East Meets West ??? Contemporary Urban Issues Revisited. International Conference Of The Urban Development Issues Journal???, which will take place on 18th October 2017 in Cracow.

The idea of the conference is to compare and contrast ???eastern??? and ???western??? approaches to urban research and practice, through keynote sessions focused on particular topics related to current challenges faced by cities and towns, open call session as well as poster session. We would like to go beyond a poster exhibition: each author of a poster is expected to give a short speech illustrated by his/her poster, summarizing the key points and main ideas. There will also be the best poster award.
