The AESOP thematic group Public Spaces and Urban Cultures will hold its annual event on 4-6 June 2015, in Glasgow, Scotland. The event is meant to be an engaging and dynamic debate between the academia and the public sector on the complex relationship between place, power and policy. It is part of the Becoming Local series, with previous editions having taken place in Istanbul, Paris and Bucharest (for more info, please go to http://www.aesop-planning.eu/blogs/en_GB/urban-cultures-and-public-spaces).
