The Annual conferences of the Urban Economy Forum is by nature a platform to extensively discuss and deliberate innovative ideas on sustainable urban development. Papers and presentations are invited on the central theme and diverse related topics from all disciplines of inquiry relating to the Urban. Following the disruptive and destabilizing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Housing Industry and Urban Recovery in the Post Covid-19 World is proposed as the central theme for UEF 2021. 

All presenters are granted free admissions to UEF 2021.
