Call For Papers
The Oriental city is one of the crucial phenomena of the contemporary world, which, as observations demonstrate incorporates an increasing part of the local population. In the age of globalization the Oriental city has adopted plenty of characteristics of the Western city, however, they still differ from each other fundamentally. The proposed overarching theme of the conference is to serve for broad discussion within the scope of existing knowledge on the varied aspects of the Oriental city as well as searching for theoretical research instruments to serve its description. The idea and debates on the subject of this conference have emerged during the activity of the Department in conjunction with the ESCAS 9th Conference held in 2005. The Organizers invite you to submit relevant panels and papers.
