Based on the protocol signed by the Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) of Cyprus and City Space Architecture (CSA) based in Bologna, Italy, in 2021, the EMU Urban Research and Development Center (URDC) is coordinating this cooperation under the name of EMU. This cooperation aims to establish joint academic initiatives on architecture and urbanism, with a specific focus on public space, engaging students, young and established researchers, and literary scholars, at the global level, with a cross-disciplinary perspective.
As part of the collaboration, the EMU Urban Research and Development Center (URDC) and City Space and Architecture (CSA) are starting a series of webinars to celebrate public spaces under the scope of significant international occasions. With these events, all of which will have a specific focus in parallel with United Nations' themes introduced for 2022, EMU-URDC and CSA aim to raise awareness of the values of public spaces and promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for better public spaces.
