Conference: Socio-Spatial Georgia: Examining the Social Impacts of Large, Private Sector Urban Development in Batumi and Tbilisi

Event Date: November 22, 2022

Over the past few decades, Eurasian cities have experienced overwhelming urban transformations through large-scale urban development. Driven by entrepreneurial principles or state-led developmentalism, they are increasingly shaping physical, social, and political landscapes. These forces have been active in Georgian cities, particularly the two largest, Batumi and Tbilisi, which have experienced socioeconomic restructuring, waves of gentrification, new architectural identities, heritage loss, and transformative city branding campaigns.

Scholars, students, and members of the public are invited to join a conversation around the rapidly changing skylines of Batumi and Tbilisi. This online event is connected to research funded by the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation. A series of afternoon presentations provide an overview of the research, including the metrics involved in measuring urban change through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The grant researchers will further share specific case studies.
