RSAI members from all over the world have in the past year participated in an extensive series of dedicated sessions (in Europe, Asia, America) on the ‘New Urban World’ ( http://www.ires.ma/en/meetings-and-debates/future-challenges-new-urban-world-what-model-development-moroccan-city). The main coordinators of this novel initiative were Karima Kourtit, Peter Nijkamp and Mark Partridge, strongly supported by the RSAI secretariat and supraregional and national sections. On the occasion of the ERSA meeting in Bratislava (August 2012) an extensive prime-time television interview with Peter Nijkamp on this initiative was broadcasted. A link to this tv interview – and a related newspaper interview – can be found on  http://www.ta3.com/clanok/1004665/host-v-studiu-peter-nijkamp-ake-budu-mesta-v-buducnosti.html.
