  The IAFOR International Conference on the City is an exciting addition to our global conference calendar. It places the international, intercultural and interdisciplinary tenets of The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) at the very heart of multiple academic approaches to the city, from the development of the classic city states east and west, to the emergence of the vast organisms that are our modern cities. Different cities have very different personalities, influenced, for example, by history, government, climate and geographical location. From fast-paced financial powerhouses to relaxed tourist resorts, they are governed in different ways, and compete against each other for attention and resources both domestically and with foreign rivals. This conference encourages interdisciplinary and comparative reflections from the world’s cities, from the smallest cathedral city to the mighty, sprawling metropolis. The city has always been a centre of creativity and imagination. The many cultures that are formed within its confines have become definitive of the development of human civilisation in different eras. From the settlements produced by the ancient river civilisations on the Nile, the Tigris–Euphrates, the Ganges and the Yellow River, to the classical and medieval city states, to the modern cities of the industrial revolution, the city provides an exciting object of study. The conference is set up to encourage the exploration of the city in all its variations and to provide a further context for reflection on globalisation as the wave of today and tomorrow. This conference, held in parallel to The IAFOR International Conference on Global Studies (Global), provides a counter to the localised perspectives that can easily obscure the simple fact that many of the world’s major cities have now become, more than ever, global portals and places of international exchange. We invite academics from around the world to join us in the fascinating historical, cultural and artistic centre of Barcelona, to exchange ideas and participate in the continuing story of this city
