Hi everybody!!
The World Events Blog withing the website Urbanistika dot ee starts running now. We will use this preliminary blog until the final web site is ready. Here we go!!!
What is World Events Blog?
This permanent blog as part of the web site urbanistika dot ee belongs to the section of Worl Wide blogs. Its intention is to serve as source of information to all those interested in the City as a topic to be studied, thought, analysed and planned. We would like that this little corner of the ciberspace is used as an easy way of being aware of all those events related to the Urban Studies all around the world. It is our will that this blog serves as a complement to the other ones in urbanistika dot ee. Therefore, we will try to list the interesting information commented or proposed in the other blogs for all those interested. Openings, exhibitions, courses and seminars, competitions, books and publications, magazines, documentals or films and any interesting links related to our topic will be included in this blog.
The task of being updated and aware in a word wide scale is difficult, and certainly something will be missed. Therefore this blog is open to anybody willing to participate, the more participants the better this blog will be. Any suggestion will be also welcome in order to improve this little enterprice.
Please participate by creating new entries in our blog or by sending a mail to ines.urbanistikadotee@gmail.com. Thanks a lot.
