#  Urban Conversations 

 



### 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. The Urban Conversations series is chaired by [Bruno Carvalho](https://rll.fas.harvard.edu/people/bruno-carvalho) and [Daniel Agbiboa](https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/daniel-e-agbiboa) and presented in partnership with the [Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative](https://mellonurbanism.harvard.edu/).
