*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* Dear list members,
I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming StadsSalonsUrbains public lecture series organized by the Brussels Centre for Urban Studies (Vrije Universiteit Brussels) in association with the Brussels Academy. Lectures take place on selected Fridays, 5:30-7:30 PM Brussels time. The first one is scheduled coming Friday 1 October. This year’s theme is “Cities for People, not for Profit. From private ownership to communal stewardship” and we have a great line-up, see below and also here https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furbanstudies.brussels%2Fnews-events%2Fcities-for-people-not-for-profit&data=04%7C01%7C%7C7c8510ce219c455c0ee708d983522c2b%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637685211238694520%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=M6BWH2XZ%2BxI2ud0qK1hsseQ3GJvc9%2F%2FETu7w2CGfJWA%3D&reserved=0. * 1/10/2021: Tine De Moor (Erasmus University Rotterdam) - Collective urbanism?
