On 20 November 2024 in Bruxelles we invite EU policymakers to join us for an insightful event exploring the critical role that small and medium-sized towns play in supporting rural areas.

The international working group "Small Towns and Metropolitan Cores" has published the second part of its Special Issue in the European Journal of Spatial Development.

Slovenia was the first of the former Yugoslavian republics to gain independence, in 1991. The first decade was a period of transition from the socialistic political system to a democratic one, which influenced the transition of the planning system as well. 

The meeting of the working group is a very important element in the building of the Science City, as it promotes interdisciplinary cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of urban planning for health equity.

The 7th Dortmund Conference for Spatial and Planning Research (DOKORP 2025)  will take place from 10 to 12 February 2025 in German and English.
