The FES Acatlán (UNAM) through its Research Program, the Humanities Division, the Humanities Program and the Hispanic Language and Literature and History Sections, have the honor to convene the 3rd "Connections and Human Aspects of Urban Space" International Conference.  It will take place on November the 14th and 15th  2023 online.

The city is a mainly cultural and human environment which concerns us in more specific ways than other spaces. In the context of urban space, many aspects of our civilization, our history and imagination take shape; we interact and develop as individuals; our trajectories and social links get mapped and materialized. Thus, the 3rd “Connections and Human Aspects of Urban Space” International Conference intends to give continuity to an interdisciplinary space where researchers whose work revolves around human and imaginary aspects of urban space can present their findings and be welcomed in an open discussion forum.

Although this will not be the exclusive theme of the congress, some emphasis will be placed on the discussion of contemporary European cities.
