About INURA
Since their first inaugural meeting in 1991, INURA members have gathered in a different city each year to explore the multiplicity of trajectories that constitute contemporary urbanity, the diversity of morphologies and built environments, the broad range of challenges they encompass. INURA members are involved in a wide range of activities spanning community and environmental groups, universities, and local administrations, addressing issues of local contention, such as major urban renewal projects, the urban periphery, community-led environmentalism, transport, labour markets, do-it-yourself culture, and social housing provision, to name only a few. Self-organizing, non-hierarchical, and decentral in structure, their aim is to share their experiences broadly, internationally, and to participate in common research initiatives.
