The conference will debate themes including patterns and processes of urbanisation in agricultural territories, processes of extractivism, and the role of infrastructure, movements of people, goods and resources, and the state space in relation to urbanisation.
It will also address new conceptual instruments that scholars of planetary urbanisation have been developing and reflect on emerging design approaches related to territories of extended urbanisation.
