The field of Urban Music Studies has emerged as a vibrant interdisciplinary
arena, exploring the dynamic interplay between music and urban life. At its
core, this field recognizes sound as both a reflection and a constitutive
element of urban life, deeply embedded in the spatial, social and cultural
fabric of cities. Music shapes and is shaped by the rhythms of urban
spaces, from bustling streets and quiet courtyards to iconic concert halls
and underground clubs. This field draws upon and contributes to diverse
academic disciplines. By engaging with a variety of perspectives from
across the globe, it challenges dominant narratives and highlights the
diverse ways in which music resonates within urban settings.
Against this backdrop, the third international conference of the Urban
Music Studies Scholars’ Network, Groove the City – Move the Streets, taking
place from 17-19 September 2026 at the University of Music and Performing
Arts Vienna and at TU Wien – Technische Universität Wien, in combination
with the 2024-2026 event series of the Thematic Group for Public Spaces and
Urban Cultures of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP TG
PSUC), seeks to deepen this research field by examining the manifold
mobilities that shape and are shaped by sound in urban contexts. This
includes a critical engagement with the concept and materiality of “the
street” as a multifaceted and symbolic terrain where social, cultural, and
political processes unfold.
