GUHP2 Berlin: Stretching the Limits of Global Urban History, July 10-11, 2025
Our 2025 conference will be at the Center for Metropolitan Studies, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany
Since GUHP’s founding in 2017, it has supported scholarship that stretches the boundaries of the field of urban history. Programming such as the Dream Conversations have encouraged investigations of cities as creations and creators of large-scale historical phenomena while also widening the diversity of voices active in the field. Recorded online events, available on our YouTube channel (GUHPVids), have engaged interested scholars worldwide in our discussions.
For our second in-person conference, we invite scholars to present work in English that further ‘Stretches the Limits of Global Urban History.’
