RELOCAL First Project Conference
The first RELOCAL Project Conference was held on 15th February in Barcelona, hosted by the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of Barcelona. The Conference aimed at the interchange of research approaches between RELOCAL and its two twin projects IMAJINE “Integrative Mechanisms for Addressing Spatial Justice and Territorial Inequalities in Europe” and COHSMO “Inequality, urbanisation and Territorial Cohesion: Developing the European Social Model of economic growth and democratic capacity”. The Conference discussed the conceptual approaches to Spatial Justice by each project, the main methods applied, the exploitation of results and strategies towards wide policy communication.
