On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In the face of rapid and uneven urbanisation, the marketisation of space, growing polarisation and inequality, and the proliferation of gated communities, walls, fences, and surveillance infrastructures, there is an increasingly urgent need to rethink our core assumptions about the agenda of urban research and design, beyond the Western context. This talk proposes Just Urbanism as a conceptual tool for reimagining an urban design practice rooted in vitality, relationality, and informality. It invites reflection on how improvised spatial arrangements and informal organisations can open up new possibilities for more just, inclusive, and situated urban futures.
