The new book, Urban Histories in Practice: Morphologies and Memory brings together ideas about the material and social transformation of cities by asking, “what is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city?” The urgency of this question grows in the contexts of rapid urbanization in the Global South and urban decline in the deindustrializing areas of the Global North. Within these spaces, multiple disciplines shape our capacity to know the contemporary city. The panel discussion will explore critical and creative approaches regarding how these disciplines might shape this process, ultimately making it more equitable and just.
