MetroZones
metroZones – Center for Urban Affairs was founded as an independent association in 2007 to bring together and discuss publicly different approaches to research, knowledge production, cultural practices and political intervention at the interface of art, scholarship and politics. We count on international, interdisciplinary and institutional cooperation. metroZones' expertise feeds on the longstanding, disciplinarily and regionally widely-branched work experience of their members in research, culture and arts, the media and urban politics.
