ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines the main challenges and results of a European-funded university-community partnership in the field of planning, specifically urban and planning history. The study detects the innovative ways the European program “UrbanHist” has dealt with the planning historiography of the European continent in the twentieth century through a community-engaged model. By screening the main features of this program, the text highlights how four different European universities joined together with academic and non-academic partners to create an innovative training network aimed at fostering high-standard knowledge in the field of international urban and planning history as well as international cooperation.
