CityMetric has teamed up with the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, to act as media partner on the “Challenges of Government Conference 2014: Flourishing Cities”. The conference will be held in Oxford on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th December.
As part of this partnership, we are publishing a series of articles from lecturers and students at the School, looking at cities around the world.
