Hello everyone!
We are back again this year with a new conference and theme: Asian Cities!
We just wanted to let you know that planning is well on its way, in the meantime, please look out for our “Did You Know” series which will feature videos and other interesting information ranging from videos about people who live and work in these spaces and popular culture to articles about how Asian cities re-define city living. We hope that through this campaign you will learn more about the transnationalist and diverse ways these spaces and peoples thrive so stay tuned!
