2020 has shown how flexible our cities can be. The Covid-19 pandemic cleared the streets and forced us to find new arenas for togetherness. Global protests against racism and discrimination reinstated the importance of cities as physical meeting places. This year’s OsloMet Urban Research Conference will be held on October 28 and 29 at OsloMet, and this year’s theme is ‘the flexibility of the city’.

The conference has 17 sessions dealing with a variety of themes, including housing, social inequality, migration and integration, urban development, and future scenarios.
