At its core, the Cities are Back in Town research group is structured by researchers from Sciences Po's various research centers and departments together with a proactive team of PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers. It is overseen by Tommaso Vitale, Dean of Sciences Po’s Urban School, and co-organised by Eva Bossuyt and Petra Samaha, PhD candidates at CEE and CERI, respectively.

Beyond this core, the group closely integrates both junior and senior scholars from other research centers in Europe and beyond. It further counts on collaborating with a network of urban practitioners contributing to teaching within the Sciences Po Urban School.
