Stadtkollquium is an academic forum organised by PhD students from various disciplines brought together by their research work and interest in urbanism. It originated at University College London (UCL) with the support of the Urban Laboratory. It aims to encourage the dissemination and discussion of PhD level urban research in a friendly and constructive atmosphere by providing open and informal outlets in which to air theoretical, practical and methodological questions and issues amongst peer PhD students across departments and universities. It hopes to generate lively round-table discussion on diverse urban questions across disciplines including but not limited to, Geography, Architecture, Anthropology, Literature, Cultural Studies, Development Studies, History, Environmental Studies, Health Sciences, Fine Arts, Planning, and Engineering.
