Western philosophy can be argued to have originated from the cities, among other factors, as a response to the challenges that the city as a space, a technical object and as a community brought with itself. However, when facing the question about the nature of the city itself, it is difficult to provide an answer, due to the city’s heterogeneity, evading clear definition. It cannot be understood solely as an architectural model or a static political organization; rather, it is a human space, inextricably linked to the human agents on the eternal movement(s) of various kinds, where they come into interaction with human and non-human Others. Thus, both: the exploration of the human identity and the urban identity of a place is crucial to the consideration of the identity problem in the context of cities. The city can be said to be the space for exploring the self vs the Other dynamics, and for fostering empathy. It is especially important nowadays, when the cities are experiencing the dynamization of the social space caused by massive and varied migrations, whether we are talking of economic or scientific mobility, or the refugees fleeing war and natural disasters or climate change consequences. It appears that the city always has to be thought of as the meeting space of various actors and realities. In the words of Eric Corijn (Brussels Urban Summit 2023), “a good city is one that we make together”.
The aim of the IV Congress on Philosophy and the City: Movement(s) and Identity is to face the above-sketched challenges from philosophical, interdisciplinary and multicultural viewpoints.
01
Urban philosophy: philosophy for the contemporary city.
02
Utopian and dystopian cities.
03
Approaches to identity in the context of urban space.
04
Self vs the Other in the urban space.
05
Identity of the cities in the context of the natural environment/climate changes.
06
Approaches to migrations and human geographies.
07
Managing migrations in contemporary urban spaces.
08
Artistic and literary response to migrations within cities.
09
The urban management and leadership approaches.
10
Cities as spaces of inclusion or exclusion.
11
Cosmotechnics, digital objects, AI and the city.
12

Adedoyin Teriba
Adedoyin Teriba specializes in modern and contemporary architecture & urbanism — focusing particularly on such traditions in West Africa and its diasporas. Teriba's teaching and scholarship investigate the ways in which folklore, orality, language, art, dance, and music are used as tools — historically and presently — to generate an architecture that creates a sense of place. Teriba is also interested in the ways that performance-based ways of creating architecture have been a staple of architectural design in parts of Africa and its diasporas for the last two hundred years or more. At Dartmouth University, Teriba teaches topics on modern and contemporary architecture that include the idea of architecture and urban spaces as mysterious entities; the intersection between architecture, place, and identity; the connection between industrial design and architecture; and courses on modern and contemporary architecture in various regions and nations in Africa.

Krakrow Information
Krakow – due to its demographic, economic, social and scientific-cultural strength – ranks second in Poland among cities. It has unique values that are the basis of its economic development and an increase in the quality of life. It has high-quality human capital at its disposal. It is a city people consciously choose as a place to live, work, study, spend free time in a variety of ways. Sustainable development and the ability to meet specific challenges with the skillful use of own resources are the main priorities.
The academic center, with its 650 year old University , is permanently connected with the city and builds an unrepeated resource of knowledge in a unique way. It is the key to competitiveness and innovation not only of Krakow, but also of the entire region.
