Conversations on Europe: "European Cities in the 21st Century"

For this installment, we will discuss some of the issues facing city developers, city leaders, and the residents of European cities. How are European cities employing strategies for resiliency in the face of climate change? What are the considerations in governance of education and housing to promote social justice? How is technology being employed to create Smart cities with better transportation networks and energy grids? And how have European cities built networks within the European Union to share best practices and fund urban redevelopment?
