UNIC Thematic Conference 2025

Urban resilience, sustainability and the future of inclusive post-industrial societies

In an era marked by rapid urbanisation and the pressing need for sustainable development, cities face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The UNIC Thematic Conference aims to address these critical issues by fostering multidisciplinary dialogue and innovation. Drawing on contemporary interdisciplinary scholarship and engaged research, the conference will explore sustainability and urban resilience within postindustrial settings.

The conference will bring together leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights, develop collaborative solutions, build bridges between research and innovative education and chart pathways toward more resilient and sustainable urban futures.
