The Conference aims to understand and ultimately rethink social  inclusion at the urban scale, as the product of broader dynamics and the  interaction of different actors and languages. It will focus on  emerging modes of contesting the centrality of the state and market  pervasiveness, new varieties of counter-hegemonic positions and  projects, and alternative visions of urban democracy and justice that  inform bottom-up and participatory approaches to urban inclusion. By  mixing academic with social movement and civil society &#8220;expertise,&#8221;  experiences of both the global North and the global South, and the  languages of social science and policy with those of the humanities and  art, the Conference aims to contribute to an &#8220;ecology of knowledges&#8221;  that gives visibility to new forms of collective action and community  experimentation reshaping contemporary cities in different contexts.The event is organized along three main axes/typologies of activities:1)Plenary sessions with keynote speakers from different parts of the world;2)&#8220;In conversation with&#8230;&#8221; sessions, which are more  informal dialogues with senior scholars and young researchers,  discussing with the audience specific themes from very different and  complementary disciplinary perspectives; and3)Four parallel &#8220;panel sessions&#8221; organized around specific issues emerging from proposals responding to the &#8220;call for papers.&#8221;ProgrammeThursday June 28Day Title             Reconceptualising the right(s) to the city9:00 &#8211;
