Agenda
The Just Metropolis program committee is working to combine the best components of our respective conference traditions - participatory mobile workshops, a diverse selection of workshops that mix practitioners, academics, and activists, provocative plenary sessions, a touch of art and urbanism and plenty of opportunities to meet new and old colleagues alike over a glass of wine.
