###  About the Series

 As our planet becomes increasingly urban, this series seeks to expand our understanding of cities and urbanization across sites and scales. The Urban Conversations aim in particular to link humanistic approaches with spatial investigations. We host public talks, and provide a venue for researchers to share works-in-progress with an interdisciplinary community, in a conversational format.

 Urban Conversations is chaired by [Bruno Carvalho](https://mellonurbanism.harvard.edu/people/bruno-carvalho) and [Daniel Agbiboa](https://mellonurbanism.harvard.edu/people/daniel-agbiboa).

 This event is co-sponsored with [Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative](https://mellonurbanism.harvard.edu/).
