The Hanyang University Sustainable Localities Lab will close at the end of this month. Since its inception in 2020, the lab has been an inspiring research environment that has shaped the comparative research on localities as social networks and symbolic structures, embedded in particular geographical, cultural and institutional contexts, and the transformative potential of localities to build just neighbourhoods and cities. The past research has contributed significantly to the forthcoming research project Neighbourhood Collective Action and Social Innovation for Resilient Cities in East Asia and Europe, CASIE, which will launch next month at the Department of Asian Studies, University of Ljubljana. CASIE will continue and expand the research, conducted at the Hanyang University Sustainable Localities Lab.

Goodbye, Sustainable Localities Lab! Hello, CASIE!
