With the aim of presenting an updated framework of research in urban and regional studies, with an emphasis on Governance and Urban Regimes, the department of public policies through the Observatório das Metrópoles – Núcleo Natal, of the Center for Human Sciences, Letters and Arts at UFRN, will promote the seminar “Urban Regimes and Metropolitan Governance”, on March 29th to 31st, 2017.
As an environment for debate, the event aims to illuminate some points on the current Brazilian urban agenda, thus considering the different forms of management and implementation of socio-spatial practices (public and private).
