With the aim of deepening urban commerce, its realities and its problems, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, these geographical conferences are held that aspire to bring together researchers and international experts and put them in dialogue in order to establish a network of international knowledge. The conferences are open to participation through presentations that will be presented at the Faculty of Humanities of Toledo in June 2023. Their themes will be adjusted to the objectives of the congress, thus proposing a call for geographical papers on: - The evolution of shopping centers and big box stores in urban areas. - Electronic commerce, including its supply chains, logistics and distribution. - The post-pandemic present of urban retail. - Commercial gentrification in cities. - The effects of touristification on the commercial activity of cities. - Urban commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic and its multiple repercussions. - The future of urban commerce.

Urban geographers (and urban economic geographers in particular) have, at least since the early twentieth century, examined the way in which cities spread out across space, occupy it and transform it: the resulting patterns and regularities are often called „urban structure‟, and numerous questions derive from this concept – such as whether or not all cities share an underlying common structure, whether the same or similar processes modify these structures, and the influence of context (be it cultural, political or geographic) on the material outcome of these processes. Furthermore the idea of urban structure itself is problematic, since any given city is structured in multiple ways along multiple dimensions, as postmodern thinkers have emphasised. This paper sets out to discuss what is meant by urban structure – focussing more particularly on cities‟ economies -, to broadly summarise some of the general patterns and processes that govern the geography of economic activity within cities, and to tentatively propose a framework for conducting relevant empirical research and for thinking about how urban economic patterns will evolve over the coming years. Key Words: Urban structure; urban theory; empirical analysis; metropolitan; processes; urban economy
