Comparing apples and oranges: a colloquium on international comparative urban research, Hospitalhof Stuttgart, 15-16 January 2015
It is common practice to conduct international comparison in urban research, though anyone who has been involved in such work knows that it faces a number of challenges. To discuss this, a two-day colloquium with presentations and discussions was held in Stuttgart, Germany in January 2015. During the introduction, co-organiser Stefan Siedentop explained that the colloquium was part of ongoing comparative research on reurbanisation in the US and Germany. Kevin Ward (University of Manchester) started the colloquium with a talk titled 'Towards a relational comparative approach to cities'. In the closing remarks for the colloquium Stefan Siedentop summarised the contributions and debates over the two days as sometimes reflecting the clashing of cultures of different disciplines and traditions in urban research, but also showing a vibrant atmosphere in the discussions. It was also great to see a lively debate between urban researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds and methodological traditions, instead of the usual disciplinary silos of thematic tracks that are all too familiar in large international conferences.
