DESCRIPTION:The XII AISU Congress (Palermo\, September 10-13\, 2025) is org
 anized by the AISU with the Department of Architecture of the University o
 f Palermo.The crossroad city:&nbsp\;Relations and exchanges\, intersection
 s and crossing points in urban realitiesCities have exerted an irresistibl
 e force of attraction since antiquity and over the centuries\, and still d
 o today\, representing themselves as places of aggregation\, of exchange\,
  sometimes of permanent settlement but frequently also of passage. In many
  respects and from different points of view\, the city appears on many occ
 asions to be a real crossroad\, a place where cultures\, religions\, power
  groups and institutions meet but also clash\, a theatre of markets and tr
 ade\, a temporary landing place in the context of broader and more dynamic
  migratory processes\, a place where urban design ideas and realisations a
 re debated and technical confrontations are held\; sometimes it is the urb
 an form itself that materialises the concept of crossroads\, in foundation
  or refoundation projects\, material or symbolic\, of the built environmen
 t. The 12th AISU Congress intends to produce investigations and promote de
 bates on the city as a crossroad\, in the material but also metaphorical m
 eaning of the term\, with a multi-scalar and multi-disciplinary approach a
 nd from the multiple points of view that contribute to define urban histor
 y studies.In this sense\, the city in the broad sense of a crossroad will 
 be explored in the following wide-ranging macro-sessions conceived as spac
 es of confrontation and integration between dialoguing disciplines:1. Citi
 es and migrations\; 2. Cities and powers\; 3. Cities and city networks\, t
 rade\, fairs and markets\; 4. Multicultural and multireligious cities\; 5.
  Cities and spaces of versatility\; 6. Cities at the crossroads of urban d
 esign ideas and realisations/ crossroads and predetermined schemes in city
  design\; 7. Cities at the crossroads of experiences\, materials and techn
 ologies and as places of interchange of technical culture.View the list of
  sessions and propose a paper.The official languages of the Congress are I
 talian\, English\, Spanish and French.Deadline to submit is May 3\, 2025.
