Climate change, escalating pollution, and the loss of wildlife pose major health challenges for individuals in Southeast Asia. Additionally, while historical pathogens like dengue, malaria, and scrub typhus persist, there is an alarming increase in epidemics due to emerging viruses, especially zoonoses, which are rapidly emerging in the region.

In response to these challenges, the ’One Health’ approach, which highlights the interdependence between human, animal, and environmental health, is gaining recognition.

Bangkok, 4th-14th June 2024

During the next edition of UTAB (4th-14th June 2024), we will produce knowledge and research on the theme of the ordinary city, drawing on the case of Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. We will study the ordinary city in Rattanakosin, the historical core of the royal capital founded in 1782. The monumental heritage of Rattanakosin has been extensively documented and conserved with the support of Thai authorities. Yet the « ordinary urban » of the daily life of residents, urban dwellers, and tourists remains, with few remarkable exceptions, understudied.

The young researchers who will attend UTAB 2024 will be involved in the ongoing research conducted by the Faculty of Architecture of Chulalongkorn University in cooperation with the CREMA network, which is aimed at bringing ordinary Rattanakosin into the landscape of urban knowledge.
