Co-map, Re-map, Un-map:
Collective, Exploratory, and Radical Cartographies

City Debates 2025

April 14-16, 2025

The 21st edition of City Debates —on collective, exploratory, and radical cartographies— engages with mapping, data visualization, and spatial representation, specifically as they intersect with urban research, furthering a variety of ways through which cities, geographies, and environments are studied and understood.

The conference coincides with AUB’s Second Palestine Week and includes several interventions focusing on Palestine.

City Debates 2025 is organized by the Master in Urban Planning, Policy and Design Programs, and the Beirut Urban Lab, in partnership with the Embassy of Italy in Lebanon, Institut Français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), and the Urban Studies Journal.
