| 2011-11-18 | Successfully held: 21st INURA Conference Mexico City / Tepoztlán 2011 Short report and acknoledgement: The speakers and tours were very extremely inspiring. The introduction at the UNAM provided necessary background for the tours and debates. Even though three days of tours can never be enough to see Mexico City we got a well-chosen cross-section of the metropolis, not only geographically. Thanks again to all those who organized, helped, and guided, especially Mariana, Claudia, Frank, Laura, and most of all Beatriz, Ana and Xanath. And please extend our thanks to all extra guides and to those who translated, those who presented their projects, and all those who provided us with food, drinks and information. Jorge foremost!

Two Films by Tino Bucholz: “Creativity and the Capitalist City: The struggle for affordable Space in Amsterdam” In this film, the search for creativity is linked to existential struggles for affordable housing and working space in Amsterdam, such as temporary accommodation, squatting, anti-squatting and some institutional synthesis: "breeding places" Amsterdam. "Gallery Schijnheilig and the Right to the City" Video about the new urban (anti-squatting) regulations, upcoming eviction around and urban movements in Amsterdam. See this short portrait of "Gallery Schijnheilig and the Right to the City", which highlights the changing situation in Amsterdam and overall neoliberalization of Dutch urban policies. |

| 2011-06-05 | Attacks against Freedom of Speech at University Leuven, Belgium A critical researcher of the Catholic University Leuven, Belgium, Barbara Van Dyck, was dismissed because of her participation in and views on the Field Liberation Movement, which happened Sunday, May 29, in Brussels. The Field Liberation Movement was simply taking non-violent action against the use of GMO crops in Europe. This is a direct bounce in the freedom of speech, aiming at making critical researchers scared and silence. I signed the petition and invite those who care for the freedom of speech to do the same. The link is below. The petition against the dismissal of Barbara van Dyck counts already over 4000 signatures, including many academics from all over the World. The plan was that a delegation of professors, researchers, and sympathizers would hand over the petition to Mark Waer, Rector of the KULeuven on June 28th. |

City
Institute at York University launched A new centre for urban research at York University is bringing together
more than 40 faculty members who research city-related topics ranging
from housing to immigration. The City Institute at York University will
focus on everything urban; whether it is the areas "in-between"
city cores and suburbs, or the social forces at work in cities around
the globe. Researchers from eight faculties at York are already doing
this type of collaborative, interdisciplinary research, says Roger Keil,
an environmental studies professor who has been appointed as director
of the institute. The growing interest in urban issues, both in the
university and the community, convinced York to pull all of that expertise
into an organized research unit |
