> Cities and towns have not only become the primary human living space, 
> they also live in the collective memory. Since the late 2000s, more 
> than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas and the 
> figure is estimated to exceed 70 per cent by 2050. As cities grow and 
> transform, the landscape, architecture, people, business, stories and 
> images of cities change. This can create feelings of inaccessibility 
> to the past, and a desire to recreate the physical landscapes of the 
> past. Memory has never been more appealing to all generations. For 
> example, millennials’ nostalgic tendencies are reflected in their 
> social media posts, which puzzle many sociologists. By holding onto 
> the past, how we can more easily sustain life and resources in 
> contemporary cities and move forward into future cities?
>
> The conference aims to explore the transformation of cities by 
> focusing on spatial, design, landscape, literature, art, memory, and 
> socio-economic dimensions. How do cities respond to the challenges 
> that threaten their ability to become viable pillars of sustainable 
> development? What are the characteristics of future cities? How will 
> urban designers, architects and policy makers reconcile the old with 
> the new, the sustainable and the smart?
>
> The conference will take place in Istanbul, Bahçeşehir University 
> (BAU). As the world's only metropolis to extend into more than one 
> continent, Istanbul lies at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. 
> The city was inhabited as early as 3000 BC and served as a capital 
> city under the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman rules. It has 
> witnessed the rise and fall of the world's most powerful empires 
> throughout history and held an important role as a melting pot of 
> civilizations. The city finally became a part of the Republic of 
> Turkey in 1923 and eventually developed as the country's modern 
> economic, cultural and historic center. Being among the 25 largest 
> urban areas in the world, today Istanbul is a bustling modern 
> metropolis with a colorful mix of traditional cultures where East 
> meets West.
>
> The fourth meeting of the International Interdisciplinary Conference 
> series will be held in Istanbul, Turkey on May 9-10, 2019. The 
> conference aims to explore a wide range of issues concerning world 
> cities with an interdisciplinary perspective in urban and cultural 
> studies. Scholars, experts and practitioners from the fields of 
> sociology, architecture, urban planning and policies, political 
> sociology, communication, literature, cultural studies, history, arts, 
> urban identity, citizen participation and governance, and heritage 
> preservation are invited to participate. Topics include but are not 
> limited to several core issues related with cities; transformation, 
> memory, sustainability, and future.
