The 6th Urban Research and Knowledge Symposium (URKS6) on Rethinking Cities: Framing the Future supported by the World Bank to be held in Barcelona from October 8 to 10, 2012. The Symposium seeks to contribute and inform policy choices that can help policymakers manage potential economic efficiency, environmental sustainability and social equity tradeoffs associated with urbanization. The Symposium is being organized by The World Bank in partnership with the City of Barcelona and some key partners, and provides a global forum for urban  stakeholders and all who are interested in cities to discuss and exchange knowledge on urban matters of how to make policy choices under resource constraints and uncertainty today that will minimize lock-in and path dependency at later stages of urban development.

Several ENoLL members participate the conference as speakers.
