The seminar series of the Laboratory of Urban Social Transformations (LaSTcity) at EKKE aims to contribute to the contemporary dialogue about cities as places that never cease to change. We engage in discussions with researchers from Greece and abroad about the shifting urban landscapes and their dynamic impacts on social organization and social life. We raise questions about new inequalities, divisions and displacements; about the redefinition of the city’s boundaries and its relationship with nature; about the economy of the city and the forms of its crisis; about spatial justice and the forms of its claims; about the new processes of producing the built environment; and about institutions and mechanisms of urban governance. About cities that suffocate, cities that breathe, and about everything… that is transforming (again) in cities lately.
