Hello Twitter!
We're an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in all things visual. We'll be posting about our latest findings, events and publications.

When something interesting happens in the world or on the news, we might comment on that too!

We continue introducing our ongoing projects! Visions of the City investigates how images are used to advance particular visions of the city, and how they sway public opinion about development projects. Read mote on our website https://t.co/gW6ikpwGPt #urbanplanning #visuality
