Francisco Parada has been invited to the 1st International Conference Weaving Urban Fabrics for Healthier Urban Futures, to be held at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin (Berlin Natural History Museum). The CMUS adjunct researcher will take part in the "Knowledge Fabric" panel as an expert panelist on Saturday, October 10.

The organizers describe the panel as follows: "One of the main challenges lies not only in generating new knowledge, but in connecting fragmented forms of knowledge and translating them into responsible, contextualized, and socially relevant urban action. What knowledge infrastructures do cities need in order to continuously understand, assess, and respond to the effects that urban transformations have on the mental health of their inhabitants?"

Francisco Parada will be joined by Dr. Richard Sennett and Dr. Detlev Ganten. The Einstein Circle "Urban Mental Health Strategy" is an interdisciplinary initiative based on research from the Neurourbanism platform of the Berlin University Alliance (BUA).
