The city is the location where economic, social and cultural developments are concentrated and condensated. Cities appear as "catalysts" of deep-reaching negotiation processes between tradition and innovation, between break and continuity. Social justice is the core of urban politics. In the cities, basic needs such as belonging, home, possibilities to participate and develop become questions of vital significance – not at last for cities themselves. Therefore, invited experts discussed these aspects by working on questions amongst others: What impact has globalisation on urban development? How does the factor diversity influence urban development as well as urban identity? How could citizenship education at the European level react appropriately to these changes and also initiate new models of participation?
