About this Event

Cities arouse all kind of passions and feelings both positive and negative.

In her inaugural lecture, Professor Monica Degen will discuss why we should pay closer attention to how experiences shape urban life, culture, politics and the economy. Ultimately, the city is more than just a collection of buildings - the smells, sounds, textures, tastes, sights and rhythms all contribute to our urban experience, and how the city is sold, structured and shaped.

Monica hopes you will join her for a drinks reception after the lecture.
