CRCD, as partner institution, participated in a COST Proposal, submitted few days ago. With a project proposal entitled “URBANDISSENT”,  this COST Action aims to investigate the emergence of heterogeneous political subjectivities connected at the same time to the global financial and debt crisis and its developments worldwide, to the negligence of public policy schemes on tackling multicultural and multireligious aspects of societies everywhere and also to the decrease of welfare State now unable to develop efficient social policies in order to reduce socio-spatial inequalities and injustices. The Action will explore the reasons behind different forms of discontent in urban space and discuss, by establishing possible cooperations with local and national policy makers, on solutions and propositions for reinforcing the “living together” in European societies and enhancing social and economic opportunities for deprived, segregated and especially young populations in the city.
